SBS Transit Hyperlapses: City Direct 654 (Morning Peak)

In this video, we explore the route of City Direct 654 from Anchorvale Crescent to Shenton Way.

The route incorporates an express sector between Rivervale Drive and Marina Bay via KPE, ECP and Sheares Avenue.

As the fourth City Direct service to be introduced under the Bus Service Enhancement Programme (BSEP) and one of ten proposed City Direct bus routes progressively introduced until the 2nd Quarter of 2014, it provides more options for commuters using stretches of the existing rail lines that experience persistently high ridership, while the ongoing rail enhancement measures are being implemented.

Double-decker buses are deployed on the 5th morning trip and the 3rd evening trip.

The route was further enhanced under the Bus Connectivity Enhancement Programme (BCEP) from 11 November 2024, with an extension to Anchorvale Crescent. Two more morning trips and one more evening trip were added.
