'''Bus Service 161''' is a residential inter-town route connecting Hougang and Sengkang with Woodlands. It incorporates a long express sector (~16km) between Punggol Road and Woodlands Avenue 2 along Tampines Expressway and Seletar Expressway, one of the longest unbroken express sectors for any trunk route in Singapore.
{{SBST/1| Bus Service 161}} is an inter-town bus service that connects the residential estates of [[Hougang]], [[Sengkang]], and [[Woodlands]]. It primarily utilises the [[Tampines Expressway]] (TPE) corridor to link the northeast ([[Sengkang]]) with the north ([[Woodlands]]), making it one of five bus services (bus services {{Bus/T|168}}, {{Bus/T|858}}, {{Bus/T|965}}, and {{Bus/T|969}}) popular among residents travelling between the northeast and north.
 
Travelling between {{NE16|}} and {{NS9|}} stations takes approximately 35 minutes, whereas the MRT (via {{NE12|}}, and {{CC17|}}) takes approximately 55 minutes. While {{Bus/T|bus service 965|s=965}} provides an alternative route between [[Sengkang]] and [[Woodlands]], it took a longer journey via [[Yishun]]. The convenience and time savings by skipping Jalan Kayu makes this service a practical option for commuters, as compared to the MRT.

Route Information
Route Hougang Central Interchange ↔ Woodlands Interchange
Route Length 23.6 km (towards Woodlands)
23.5 km (towards Hougang Central)
Travelling Time 70 mins (1 h 10 mins)
Operator SBS Transit
(Sengkang – Hougang Bus Package)

SBS Transit Bus Service 161 is an inter-town bus service that connects the residential estates of Hougang, Sengkang, and Woodlands. It primarily utilises the Tampines Expressway (TPE) corridor to link the northeast (Sengkang) with the north (Woodlands), making it one of five bus services (bus services 168, 858, 965, and 969) popular among residents travelling between the northeast and north.

Travelling between NE16STCSengkang and NS9TE2Woodlands stations takes approximately 35 minutes, whereas the MRT (via NE12CC13Serangoon, and CC17TE9Caldecott) takes approximately 55 minutes. While bus service 965 provides an alternative route between Sengkang and Woodlands, it took a longer journey via Yishun. The convenience and time savings by skipping Jalan Kayu makes this service a practical option for commuters, as compared to the MRT.
