[Defunct] Premium Bus Service 599

Premium Bus Service 599 was a Premium service operated by XingSheng Transport Services from Hougang Street 51 to Shenton Way. The route passes through Serangoon North Ave 4, Ang Mo Kio Ave 3, Telok Ayer and Fullerton, operating one trip in the morning.

Premium 599 was discontinued from July 2023, with the service information removed on the Land Transport Authority’s MyTransport.sg app.

Premium 599 served the housing estates of Hougang Neighborhoods 5, 6 and 9 and Serangoon Neighborhood 5 with bus connections to Telok Ayer and Shenton Way, eliminating the hassle of transferring between different modes of transport. The steep fares and cheaper alternatives make Premium 599 a more expensive alternative route to the city, but passengers get to enjoy the luxury benefits of Premium travel.

This service shares part of its catchment with Premium 574, also heading to Shenton Way, which charges $4.00 per trip.
