Service 405M primarily served the National Shooting Centre along Old Choa Chu Kang Rd with connections to Boon Lay Bus Interchange and MRT station. It was only operated on an ad-hoc basis during the 2015 Southeast Asian Games, for six days from Sunday, 07 June 2015 to Friday, 12 June 2015.

This service was needed as its parent Service 405 only operates during certain days of the year to provide bus connections to cemeteries and columbaria at Lim Chu Kang. It also skips the Lim Chu Kang Rd sector of Service 405, only serving Old Choa Chu Kang Road.

Passengers heading for National Shooting Centre should alight at bus stop 31009 Choa Chu Kang Rd End along Old Choa Chu Kang Road. For the 6.5km journey between Boon Lay Interchange and National Shooting Centre, the bus fare is $1.20 for adult cardholders, $0.58 for student cardholders, and $1.80 for cash fare.
