Service 230M provides a more direct and convenient connection to Toa Payoh Bus Interchange and MRT station for residents staying at Kim Keat Avenue.
Plans for the route were first announced by the Land Transport Authority as part as an update on the Bus Connectivity Enhancement Programme in April 2025, to be implemented by June 2025. The route closely mirrors the old routing of Service 230 prior to its extension to Caldecott MRT Station & Lorong 8 Toa Payoh in January 2025, except the looping area around Kim Keat Avenue which is reversed for Service 230M’s routing.
Although operating daily, operating hours for Service 230M are limited till 9pm daily, as compared to its parent Service 230 at 12:30am. In addition, the service starts operating at 6.30am on Weekdays and 9am on Weekends & Public Holidays.

This is stupid just have 230 enter toa payoh bus int on both directions like 265. The problem is solved. Wat kind of stupid ppl are on lta planning. Has the world gone mad ?????????
Whyy do we need this 230 is already direct enough just need to switch out at bs/52189 or bs/52181 and walk abit this is just same as old 230 there is no need for this just boost 230 frequency can do
Yeah la i also think
Residents have complained of the loss of direct connection to the interchange. Walking outside is quite inconvenient and somewhat confusing as it is easy to lose your way.
Jelly generation walk a few mins also cmi the say lost way..Later everything increased start to kpkb… This kind of self entitled selfish ppl should live in 3rd world country.
Are you kidding?
How would you feel if your bus service was suddenly amended away from the interchange? It’s not whether they want to walk or not, it’s the fact that the direct link already existing before was lost that is stupid.
The way this should have been solved is to utilise 265’s route style, calling at TPY ITH twice in one trip, instead of creating a new route.
if the mrt bus stops are not too far away, it isn’t too major
Where is the route need so long time meh
I mean it is and yeah I guessed it haha wait……really the same as old 230 route meh?
Yeah another fucked shitting shit planning of 230M same route as old 230 is it.
Yep guessed it
