Short Trip Service 84A was introduced to meet the high demand for Service 84W, providing additional trips from Punggol Bus Interchange / MRT Station to the newly-opened Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) Punggol campus. This service only operates during the SIT school term and is not available during SIT school holidays.
With Punggol Coast MRT station set to open later in 2024, public transport to SIT Punggol is mainly accessible via Teck Lee LRT station or Bus Services 84G/84W. Service 84A helps increase morning peak frequencies for Service 84W, reducing bus intervals to 2-3 minutes from Punggol Bus Interchange.
Service 84A was launched on 16 Aug 2024, operating on an ad-hoc basis on four days (Friday 16 Aug 2024, Saturday 17 Aug 2024, Sunday 18 Aug 2024 & Saturday 24 Aug 2024). Regular service commenced on Monday, 2 Sep 2024, coinciding with the start of the SIT school term.

People are going to the University on a weekend? Is there smth happening there? What does adhoc mean in this case also does it mean they’re working with SIT or they’re js gonna have buses locked and loaded for surge in crowd
Opening of SIT Punggol Campus
Wa, then why that time don’t want to launch 243A to Pioneer MRT station (loop via st 61, 63, Pioneer Road North)? And capacity of 243A : 243G&W is 50-50? (Essentially like the branch lines of a train line, 50-50 to each branch).
Then don’t need to have 258 already. Joo Koon Bus Interchange could have been just 185 extend to Joo Koon to compensate 257 shortening to Joo Koon. History would have really changed. Anyway, here’s a route suggestion to consider, if anyone from LTA reading. You are welcome.
What are the departure timings for 84A during ad hoc basis? May I know pls?
Morning peak hours which is around 7am to 9am.
Must be super high demand from 84W. Did not expect that to happen to quickly
Yes i rode it , it was so full
