{{SMB/1| Express Service 982E}} provides residents of [[Choa Chu Kang]] and [[Choa Chu Kang|Teck Whye subzone (Choa Chu Kang)]], who rely on the rail network and feeder buses, with a direct travel alternative to the Central Business District (CBD). This service incorporates an express sector between Bukit Batok Road and Central Business District via Jurong Town Hall Road, [[Ayer Rajah Expressway]] (AYE), and Keppel Road.

It is the 8<sup>th</sup> bus service to benefit from the Land Transport Authority’s (LTA) [[Bus Service Enhancement Programme]] (BSEP) (7<sup>th</sup> bus service introduced under the programme), and the 3<sup>rd</sup> peak-hour unidirectional express bus service introduced. This service was branded under the normal ''Express'' branding instead of the ''City Direct'' branding, as it was operated by a public transport operator rather than a private bus operator at the time of its launch.

On the eves of Christmas, New Year, and Chinese New Year, evening peak-hour departures will be brought forward to the afternoon. Revised timing will be announced by the operator closer to the respective dates.
