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
Actually TT operate 991 and SMRT operate 984 better with 984 starts from Gali Batu Terminal.
Why not make this bus service pass through 3 different interchanges?
Like Jurong Town Hall bus interchange, Tengah bus interchange and CCK bus interchange?
Need an intra-town link bus in the west, much like service 3 (Punggol, Tampines and Pasir Ris)
Because between JE, BB, BP, CCK and Tengah, these towns are connected enough alrdy. Also, got JRL and NSL alrdy. Why waste resources? Just amend buses and feed them passengers to MRT since the Govt likes the MRT so much that they willing to increase fare for it every year hahaha.
BP is still poorly connected to Tengah. There’s only 180 which doesn’t even go inside Tengah. 984 doesn’t really help with that, neither does JRL, while most services in Tengah go to JE and BB.
2 cent take. Maybe they are waiting for the road from brickland side to connect to the rest of tengah before they realign 984 and/or a brand new service that connects between the two towns.
From google satellite, it seems like they are working towards linking Brickland Lane and rest of Tengah without touching Bukit Batok Road. I would say, give it time before they put more buses between CCK and Tengah.
Yes I think that when that road is built there will definitely be more services that run through that section of Tengah Blvd. There’s also bus stops built on Tengah Park Ave (outside Parc Point and Blk 319B) and BB West Ave 5 (next to Bukit View Pri Sch and Altura EC) so there might be a service that goes to Bt Gombak through the Bus-only road.
Should have made service 984 terminate at Gali Batu bus terminal (much like service 75 and 184). Feels abit strange to say that it’s final destination is Woodlands Road.
True that Tower Transit Singapore deserves 984, but what about a bus service from CCK to Tengah?
I smell a news article soon. I mean 180.
Why not operate under SMRT CCK-BPJ package??
