!	From Sunday, 14 November 2024 to 31 October 2025, Train services on the Bukit Panjang LRT will end an hour earlier at 22:30 every Thursday to Sunday (except Public Holidays). This is to facilitate the upgrading of the BPLRT signalling system, as well as the testing of the new and retrofitted Light Rail Vehicles (LRVs) on the BPLRT network. Please refer here for more information. Train services will be extended on the eve of Christmas (Tuesday, 24 December 2024), and on the eve of New Year (Tuesday, 31 December 2024). Selected bus service will be extended to coincide with the last train timings. There will also be a change in selected bus service operating timing. Please refer to the following for more information: (Extension of Train & Bus service operating hours) (Change in bus service's Operating Hours for Christmas & New Year Eves) (Extension of bus operating hours on Christmas Eve) (Extension of bus operating hours on New Year Eve) (Change in bus service's Operating Hours for Christmas Eve) (Extension of bus operating hours on Christmas Eve) (Extension of bus operating hours on New Year Eve) (Change in bus service's Operating Hours for Christmas & New Year Eves, Service 43e) (Change in bus service's Operating Hours for Christmas & New Year Eves) From 22 December 2024, bus service 193 will serve an additional bus stop along Benoi Road, opposite Joo Koon Interchange. Please refer here for more information. From Thursday, 2 January 2025, City Direct Services 675, 676, 677 & 678 will be introduced to provide a faster connection to the city for commuters along the North-East Corridor. Please refer here for more information. From Sunday, 12 January 2025, bus service 967 will be introduced to enhance connectivity for commuters in Marsiling and Admiralty to nearby transport nodes and local amenities in Woodlands. Please refer here for more information. From Monday, 13 January 2025, bus service 912M will be withdrawn with the introduction of new bus service 967 under the Land Transport Authority’s Bus Connectivity Enhancement Programme (BCEP). Please refer here for more information.					!

Service 974 enhances inter-town connectivity between Jurong Industrial Estate, Jurong West (Boon Lay), Choa Chu Kang and Bukit Panjang. It relieves end-to-end demand on Bus Service 172 by providing an express bus corridor along the Kranji Expressway (KJE), offering faster journeys between Choa Chu Kang and Boon Lay.
