Plans
Plans for Bus Service 984 were revealed to the media on 8 June 2025 by Acting Transport Minister Jeffrey Siow. The route was one of eight services planned for the Brickland and Tengah areas due to be launched by end-2026, and would connect Brickland to Bukit Panjang and Jurong East MRT stations.
This new service number, 984, was revealed by Mr Siow on 10 August 2025 as part of a media engagement. A follow-up social media post on 9 October 2025 revealed that Service 984 would be operated by Tower Transit and would launch shortly.
On 26 October 2025, a social media post by Dr Vivian Balakrishnan (Minister for Foreign Affairs; MP for Holland-Bukit Timah GRC) featured a route map of Bus Service 984, presumably prepared by LTA. The map indicated that there were plans for Service 984 to serve Keat Hong Close, but this sector was omitted in the final route.

Back to Bus Services
I think the numbering of this service gives a big clue to where it will terminate. There were obviously 3 options that this service would be numbered: 873, 977 & 984. The fact that they chose the least expected one is a red flag. I suspect that this service will not start from Tengah Int (else it would’ve been 873), nor would it start from Bukit Panjang (977). If I’m not wrong, 984 is meant to follow the numbering after 983 & 985, which means it may start in the CCK Area. Thus my guess would be that it starts from a roadside terminal set up by the nearby Brickland MRT.
Gali Batu is another option, going down Tengah then JE, but I question again: Why would they make a new route when they could have extended 870?
This is why my suspicions for 984’s route incline towards a 176-alike route. Like mentioned, it “starts” from Brickland, then goes to BPJ, then from there, go down to JE
Should have routed the bus to Woodlands Temporary Bus Interchange instead.
WTBI – Woodlands Street 13 – Woodlands Ave 3 – BKE – Pending – Bukit Panjang MRT – Stagmont Ring – CCK Ave 3/5/7 – Brickland (loop)
Please consider PPT1B LODGE, No transport need to walk for 1.5km everyday, whether it’s rain or shine
A bit over supply already. Expect market consolidation, especially when JRL stage 2 opens in 2028.
Suppose this is a Bt Panjang (BPJ) — Jurong East (JE) svc, how would it avoid dup with 160 then? It has to serve remaining areas in CCK and/or Gombak that currently don’t have direct access to BPJ or JE, that means CCK Ave 1 / Grove and then Tengah? Why even use this numbering (instead of, say, 977)?
