City Direct Service 661 provides residents of Pasir Ris with greater connectivity to the CBD. The service provides a travel alternative for commuters who relied on the rail network and feeder buses to and from work. The route incorporates an express sector between Loyang Ave and Anson Rd via TPE, PIE, KPE & MCE.

3 New bus stops were constructed along Pasir Ris St 11 for this service.

This is the eleventh City Direct service to be introduced under the Bus Service Enhancement Programme (BSEP), which provides more options for commuters using stretches of the existing rail lines that experience persistently high ridership, while the ongoing rail enhancement measures are being implemented. On the first day of operations on 22 Sep 2015, free rides were available on this service.

    Since all Go- Ahead services are in the Loyang bus package, bus 661’s bus package is Loyang bus package. Same goes for bus 663/665, which is in Bulim bus package.
