Route Information
Route Bukit Panjang Interchange ↺ Lim Chu Kang Road (Loop)
Route Length 36.5 km
Travelling Time 100 mins (1 h 40 mins)
Operator SMRT Buses
(Choa Chu Kang – Bukit Panjang Bus Package)

SMRT Buses Bus Service 975 is an inter-town bus service that connects the residential estates of Bukit Panjang and Choa Chu Kang to industrial and military region at Murai, subzone (Western Water Catchment) and Lim Chu Kang. This service is complemented by Service 172 between Choa Chu Kang and Old Choa Chu Kang Road, but it offers a faster and more direct route between Choa Chu Kang and Brickland Road.

Buses departing Bukit Panjang Interchange after 2245 hours on weekdays, 2250 hours on saturdays and 2248 hours on sundays and public Holidays, terminate at Lim Chu Kang instead of looping back. These trips are previously not indicated until the introduction of the “C” suffix (Short Trip 975C) in April 2021.

Due to earlier height limitations along Lim Chu Kang Road, double-decker buses were not deployed along the full route before 10 March 2019. Additionally, because of the narrow road at Lim Chu Kang Road articulated buses were not deployed along the full route as they were unable to make a U-turn at Police Coast Guard.

To cater to increased demand for soldiers booking in on Sunday and public holiday nights, articulated buses were regularly deployed on short-trip service 975B between 2016 and 2022, until double-decker buses were introduced to replace them.
