It provides a more convenient alternative route for residents who would otherwise rely on the MRT or other bus routes to reach the city. From Ulu Pandan Road, SMRT Service 75 also provides bus connections to the city.
Two trips are originally operated in the mornings, with a third trip added from 8 Jun 2015 under SBS Transit.
With the takeover of operations by Commute Solutions from 26 Sep 2016, the route was extended to Marina Blvd and Temasek Blvd. The number of trips was also reduced to 2 from 3.
