Service 151e was introduced as a Fast Forward variant of Service 151. The route connects residential areas of Hougang and Jalan Toa Payoh with many educational institutions around Clementi Road and Kent Ridge. It was renamed as Express Bus Service 151e from 12 August 2018.
The route skips selected stops along Hougang Avenue 3 and Jalan Toa Payoh, and all stops along Airport Road, MacPherson Road, Whitley Road and Bukit Timah Road / Dunearn Road in both directions.
For trips towards Kent Ridge Terminal in the morning, the bus service plies via Hougang Avenue 3, Airport Road, MacPherson Road, Jalan Toa Payoh, PIE through to Clementi Road, while trips towards Hougang Central in the evening ply via Dunearn Road, Whitley Road, PIE, Jalan Toa Payoh, MacPherson Road, Airport Road and Hougang Avenue 3. However, the express sector reflected on MyTransport.sg indicates it to be via Dunearn Road / Bukit Timah Road for both bounds instead.
