Bus Service 247 is a Jurong Industrial Service serving industrial areas around Tuas and Tuas South with connections to transport nodes at Tuas Crescent and Tuas Link MRT stations, plying Tuas Avenue 7/8, Pioneer Road, Tuas South Ave 5/4/7/3/9/8 and looping at Tuas Bay Link.

Notes
đź“ť Merger with SMRT Svc 248M
đź“ť Operating Hours and Frequency will be change.
đź“ť Skipped and Abolished Bus Stop along Tuas Sth Way, Continue jounery along Tuas Sth Blvd (End).
In the future, bus 247 might merge with bus 248 and bus 247 will be withdrawn.
Bus 247 & 248 routings are already more than 20km already, and if you combine 247 & 248, the route will be too lengthy. Splitting into 247 & 248 is a better option.
