Premium 558 served the housing estates of Yishun Neighborhoods 1, 7 and 8 with bus connections to the CBD, eliminating the hassle of transferring between different modes of transport. It provided a more convenient alternative route for residents who would otherwise rely on feeder buses, the MRT or other bus routes to reach the city.
With City Direct 670 duplicating a large sector of Premium 558 and offering a cheaper fare to the CBD, many Premium 558 commuters switched over to City Direct 670, resulting in a lost of ridership for this service and the eventual withdrawal of this service.
