City Direct Service 660 provides residents of Hougang Neighbourhoods 6 and 9 with greater connectivity to the CBD. The service provides a travel alternative for commuters who relied on the rail network and feeder buses to and from work. The route incorporates an express sector between Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3 and Orchard Road via the CTE.

A pair of new bus stops was constructed along Hougang Street 91 (outside Hougang Secondary School) for this service. This is the tenth City Direct service to be introduced under the Bus Service Enhancement Programme (BSEP), which provides more options for commuters using stretches of the existing rail lines that experience persistently high ridership, while the ongoing rail enhancement measures are being implemented.

    To the bus servuce provider.

    Please take this seriously on the feedback. Think you bus driver is badly trained. Past 2 weeks; this Indian driver didnt stop the bus in front of Rendezvous Hotel; this happended twice and yesterday worst that he just drove non-stop till the next bus stop whichbis about 3 streets away. Today (2/Oct) worst! He drove in the tunnel and went out of the wrong way. So the whole bus passengers are on a “street tour”. For sure all are late for work!

    It’s been 2 days in a row. There’s no sight of 7:30am bus appearing at the first bus stop. What’s wrong with aedge? If you are unable to fulfill the service, please do not overpromise.

    Hope bus 660 can add 1 earlier bus at 6pm Aft Robinson Road bus stop. 620pm a little bit long to wait for people going out of office before/at 6pm. ?

    The first bus at 7.30am drives ultra slow and is extremely rude to passengers. The slowness often allow the bus to reach the third bus stop at the same time as the second bus!
