Express Bus Service 43e is a Limited-stop Express Bus Service which offers quicker journeys for commuters at Punggol, Sengkang and Buangkok, linking them with the Paya Lebar, Tanjong Katong and Marine Parade areas. Operating in one direction during Weekdays Peak Hours only, it only calls at selected bus stops served by its parent Bus Service 43, and charges Express Fares as a result.

In between Buangkok and MacPherson, the bus plies an express sector along Buangkok Drive, Buangkok East Drive, Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) and Airport Road in both directions. The route operates at 20 to 30 minute intervals during morning peak towards Marine Parade & evening peak towards Punggol.

Express 43e is the tenth new route to be introduced under the Bus Contracting Model (BCM) after Express 167e.

After being suspended from Sep 2021 to Jan 2022, operating hours were cut short for both directions.

    My. Office is at Paya Lebar Airport. But there is not stop for 43e bus. It would help me a lot if the stop is added for 43e bus near my office.

    GOOD morning, may I check if the 1st bus out of punggol interchange is 630am ? My daughter was waiting at 67591 this morning way before 640am , and bus tracking system showed another 24mins to arrival at 640am ! It Is not the first time the bus 43e schedule is not reliable and causing her to be late for school.
