Service 95 primarily serves the National University of Singapore (NUS) Kent Ridge Campus with bus connections to Buona Vista MRT, Kent Ridge MRT and Kent Ridge Bus Terminal, as well as serving the residents of Holland Village to Buona Vista MRT.
Previously the only bus service from NUS to Buona Vista MRT, peak hour demand was exceedingly high, but the opening of Kent Ridge MRT station in October 2011 helped distribute the high peak demand to NUS Internal Shuttle Bus (ISB) routes.
Fewer buses are deployed during NUS vacation periods. Double-deck buses were introduced to the route in early 2011 in response to high demand.
