(Defunct) Peak Period Short Service 903P

Peak Period Short Service 903P was a PPSS bus route from Woodlands Temporary Bus Interchange and looping at Marsiling Lane, passing through Woodlands Avenue 2, Riverside Rd, Marsiling Rd and Marsiling Dr. Operating during weekday peak hours, it ran alongside Feeder Service 903 and alleviated crowding on high-demand sectors during peak hours.

Peak Period Short Service 903P was withdrawn on 13 Jan 2017. New SMRT Bus Service 903M was introduced to replace this service on the same day.

Service 903P duplicates the bulk of Bus Service 903‘s route, serving between Woodlands MRT / Bus Interchange and Marsiling Lane. Operated using private buses from Rui Feng Chartered Pte Ltd, the route helps to relieve frequent overcrowding on Service 903. It does not serve Woodlands Train Checkpoint. It is the 12th PPSS service to be introduced, commencing operations on Tuesday, 13 January 2015.

Peak Period Short Services operate at least five trips per hour during Weekday AM and PM peak periods. This initiative taps on the resources of Private Bus Operators to run shorter bus services to augment the resources of the Public Transport Operators (PTOs).

Withdrawal:

With the transition to the Bus Contracting Model (BCM), PPSS 903P was renumbered to Service 903M and operated by SMRT Buses from 13 Jan 2017. The last day of operations for 903P was on 12 Jan 2017. More information at Changes to PPSS.

Fare: Fares for Feeder Services are capped at 3.2km. See Bus Fares.

Fleet: Service 903P′s fleet fully comprises private buses from Rui Feng Chartered Pte Ltd.
