Route Information
Route Tampines Interchange ↺ Rochor Canal Road (Loop)
Route Length 32.0 km
Travelling Time 83 - 108 mins
(1 h 23 mins - 1 h 48 mins)
Operator SBS Transit
(Tampines Bus Package)

SBS Transit Bus Service 23 connects the housing estate of Tampines and Bedok North with the City areas of Little India and Boon Keng, looping at Rochor Canal Road. Incorporating an express sector along the PIE (between Bedok North Rd and Jln Kolam Ayer), the long express sector offers a quick connection as compared to other bus routes or the MRT network before the Downtown Line.

The route experiences good demand all day round with many passengers commuting between these two areas, especially on weekday peak hours and weekends. It is also a frequently-used connection between Tampines Avenue 1 and Tampines Interchange, serving residents and students of Temasek Polytechnic.
