I feel that 831 could be short lived, and eventually 181 will take over its route at Tengah Garden Avenue, Bukit Batok Road, Tengah Park Avenue, while another bus service (either 871 or 992, to reduce duplication) will take over its route at Tengah Central and Tengah Drive.
That is when 181 extends to Tengah. It will probably be via Tengah Central, in which the section linking to Jurong West Avenue 2 is not ready yet, that’s why not yet announced, and temporarily have 831 to cover that route.
And if 181 goes that route, it will benefit Pioneer Primary School staff members who probably mostly live in Jurong West, as well as enable a secondary school in Jurong West (along 181 route) to move over to Tengah about 4 years before Tengah children start to require a secondary school in their town (am honestly guessing that Westwood Secondary School may move over to Tengah, since Tengah forest town and Westwood Secondary School complement each other very well)(if really the case, affected Westwood Secondary School students and teachers can take 181 to go to their new school at Tengah).
Anyway, the above is my personal speculation. 831 may or may not be an interim service. It may well be a permanent service. Only time will reveal how things will eventually turn out.
Looks like 83x series will be dedicated for the feeders in Tengah town.
On a side note, the service reminds me of the Taiwanese band that goes by the name 831.
Next will be 831G…Make sense for Int to have feeder svc.
