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.

    Since Yishun Ave 8 have new developments 117 should be amended to serve Yishun Ave 8. From Sembawang, after Canberra MRT 117 turn in to Canberra View -> Canberra St -> Canberra Way -> Yishun Ave 8 -> Yishun Ave 9 -> Yishun Ring Rd, then follow original Yishun route.
    From Punggol, go opposite route but instead of Canberra View it will serve Yishun Ave 7 from Ave 8 then follow original route.

      i agree with WLTransit 117 should serve Yishun Avenue 8 instead of taking the longer route via Yishun Town Hall

      Also transfer operations to Loyang Bus Package under Go Ahead
