Service 240P duplicates Feeder 240, serving between Lakeside MRT Station and Boon Lay during the weekday peak hours. While Feeder 240 terminates at Boon Lay Bus Interchange, PPSS 240P loops around Boon Lay MRT Station, via Jurong West Central 2, 3 and Street 64.
Operated using private coaches from Tong Tar Transport, the route helps to relieve frequent overcrowding on Service 240. It is the second PPSS service to be introduced.
Peak Period Short Services operate at least five trips per hour during Weekday AM and PM peak periods. This initiative taps on the resources of Private Bus Operators to run shorter bus services to augment the resources of the Public Transport Operators (PTOs).
With the transition to the Bus Contracting Model (BCM), PPSS 240P was renumbered to 240M and operated by SBS Transit Ltd from 1 Sep 2016.
Fare: Basic fares capped at 3.2km. See Bus Fares.
Fleet: Service 240P′s fleet fully comprises of private coaches from Tong Tar Transport.
