Tower Transit Bus Service 965 will be amended within Woodlands town in the future, serving the new housing estate of UrbanVille @ Woodlands along Woodlands Avenue 5.
A new pair of bus stops will be constructed along Woodlands Avenue 5 outside and opposite Block 905 (part of the UrbanVille @ Woodlands development).
Plans for the amendment were reflected in the LTA Travel Guide for UrbanVille @ Woodlands, which was released as part of the HDB MyNiceHome Roadshow for the new housing estate in April 2026.
In the vicinity map, a pair of future bus stops were indicated with Service 965 to serve them.
In addition, Service 965 was also indicated to serve Republic Polytechnic, indicating that it may continue along Woodlands Avenue 9 towards Sengkang.
Amendment
On 20 April 2026, the route amendment for Service 965 was announced to take effect from Sunday 24 May 2026, with the route extended to Buangkok Int and routing in the Woodlands area via Woodlands Ave 5, Woodlands Ave 9, Woodlands St 82 & Woodlands Ave 4.
Great, this bus service 965 is a better route, I think it also won’t be a loop from Sengkang Bus Interchange. I no need to take bus service 161, but who knows that bus service 161 extension to Choa Chu Kang , bus service 168 extension to Eunos , bus service 187 extension to Sembawang, bus service 856 calls at Yishun east and bus service 969 calls at Pasir Ris, this bus services also needed to have a better route too.
Don’t make sense at all leh. 161 and 168 is undoubtfully still the best service when heading back from woodlands to Sengkang/Tampines, since only 3 stops in woodlands before highway.
965 Loop here and there, probably it’s runtime became 90 mins for a full trip to buangkok.
I wish bus 965 and 967 moves to ITH.
965 better in exchange for 904..
