Service 102 provides a direct bus link between Hougang and Seletar Airport via Buangkok Drive and Sengkang neighbourhoods. It enhances connectivity for residents of Sengkang West and Buangkok Dr, connecting to key transport nodes (such as Buangkok and Sengkang MRT stations), for transfers to other bus services or rail lines, while also serving local amenities. It is the forty-second (42nd) bus service to be introduced under the Bus Service Enhancement Programme (BSEP).
The route serves the Sengkang West region which previously was only served by Bus Service 85, boosting essential links for residents living in the area. In addition, it serves three new pairs of bus stops along Buangkok Drive.
Initially planned to operate between Hougang Central and Seletar Aerospace Park, Service 102 was eventually cut short to loop at Jalan Kayu upon route commencement, possibly due to lack of demand along the removed sector.
Officially announced just 5 days ahead of its launch, the short notice was likely intended to avoid conflict with the 2015 General Election period. The initial press release by the Land Transport Authority left out an additional pair of bus stops along Buangkok Dr (Sengkang Fire Stn and Opp Sengkang Fire Stn) which were added in later on 16 Sep 2015 in an amended poster.
With the opening of the new Seletar Airport Passenger Terminal Building at Seletar Aerospace Avenue, Bus Service 102 was extended to loop at Seletar Airport via Seletar Aerospace Way and Seletar Aerospace Drive from Sunday, 14 October 2018.
