Bus Service 18M is a route variant of Bus Service 18, introduced to serve residents along Tampines Street 96, including the HDB Build-To-Order (BTO) estates of Tampines GreenQuartz, Tampines GreenEmerald, and Tampines GreenOpal. The service provides a direct connection to Bedok Reservoir MRT station along the Downtown Line.
The introduction of Service 18M improves public transport connectivity for these new estates in Tampines Street 96 by providing a second bus option, complementing the existing Feeder Bus Service 299. In addition to rail connectivity, the route links residents to bus transfer stops along Bedok Reservoir Road and Bedok North Road. The service also enhances access to local amenities in Bedok North, such as Fengshan Community Club and Bedok 85 Market.
The launch of Service 18M was first announced on 6 February 2026. According to the published route diagram, Service 18M is offered as an interim service. In the longer term, Bus Service 18 is expected to be amended to serve Tampines Streets 96, 92, and 94 directly, including the addition of two new pairs of bus stops along Tampines Street 92. These amendments will only be carried out after completion of the ongoing road works in the area.

Oh my days this seems like a HUGE waste of resources… I would rather there be a 69M instead… If really cannot should run 18M along the proposed amendment of 18…
