Route History:

The route between JB Sentral ↔ Taman Pulai Indah was initially served by Causeway Link route 51B, Triton JB route 505 and Kembara City 606. When Triton JB company merged with Causeway Link in 2011, 51B and 505 were merged as Causeway Link 505. Kembara City 606 would cease operating sometime in the mid to late-2010s.

Service 505 was directly merged into myBAS T31 on 25 April 2022, under the under the myBAS Johor Bahru scheme (Phase 2). The route was also amended to serve Taman Universiti Bus Terminal and Jalan Pulai 19 / Jalan Pulai / Jalan Pontian Lama in both directions, along with additional stops within the Taman Pulai Indah estate (along Jalan Ariza). The amendment to Taman Universiti thus absorbed Causeway Link 5B / BET3 and City Bus 331 (all JB Sentral ↔ Taman Universiti), and a new ‘feeder service’, Causeway Link 5BL, was introduced to connect Taman Universiti Ter with Jalan Penyiaran / Jalan Kemuliaan.

From 1 February 2023, the route was amended to serve the Taman Universiti estate in both directions via Jalan Penyiaran / Jalan Kemuliaan. Previously, the route only called at Taman Universiti Ter in both directions, where passengers could transfer to Causeway Link 5BL.

From 1 March 2024, the route was extended from Taman Pulai Indah to Taman Pulai Mutiara, skipping Jalan Ariza / Hab Taman Pulai Indah
