Service 117 commenced operations on 20 Dec 2015 as the fifty-first (51st) bus service to be introduced under the Bus Service Enhancement Programme (BSEP).

Service 117 is an alternative travel option for passengers who utilize Service 85 to travel between Punggol and Yishun towns, skipping the Sengkang residential areas entirely. It was the first service to serve new bus stops for the then upcoming developments along Yishun Avenue 1, connecting residents to Khatib MRT.
The service was amended to enhance connectivity in Apr 2016 through an amendment to ply West Camp Rd instead of plying express along Seletar West Link. In November 2021, the service was amended to serve Canberra estate via Canberra Cres, Canberra Walk & Sembawang Road for enhanced connectivity.

experience very bad bus 117 male driver, Chinese, age about 70,i had not taken down bus number,
i board at Stop ID: 68149, around 1950hrs, get off the at bus stop number Stop ID: 68119 around 2000hrs
pls contact me is a long story.
Yes agree on increasing the frequency of bus 117 as it is the only bus that serves the many new and upcoming HDB and condo developments along Yishun Ave 1.
Driver really bad today… The bus was a MB Citaro and he was driving really fast along Cannerra Link and when he stop at Opp Visonaire, I banged my head on the window because the bus drifted without turning.
Can we increase frequency of the bus 117? We are staying in Skies Miltonia. We need to wait for the bus ~12-15 minutes during non-peak hours. Our kids need to take this bus after school.
Even though we have free shuttle bus, but the free shuttle bus has tea break time and is 30 minutes interval.
should be operated by TTS or GAS
Wait until Sengkang-Hougang Bus Package gets tendered in 2024. Don’t be impatient
That means Bedok and Loyang might be tendered together.
Hougang contract extended probably because SKDEP delayed.
then how was 974 able to switch packages

One of the few bus services in which both termini it serves are not run by the same operator as the service!
Dear officer,
Can we increase frequency of the bus 117? We are staying in Skies Miltonia. We need to wait for the bus ~12-15 minutes during non-peak hours. Our kids need to take this bus after school.
Even though we have free shuttle bus, but the free shuttle bus has tea break time and is 30 minutes interval.
