'''Bus Service 969''' is an inter-town route serving between the housing estates around [[Woodlands]], [[Yishun]] and [[Tampines]]. The route is frequented as a fast connection between Yishun and Tampines owing to its express sector along the Seletar Expressway (SLE) and Tampines Expressway (TPE).
{{TTS/1| Bus Service 969}} is an inter-town bus service that connects the residential estates of [[Woodlands]], [[Yishun]], and [[Tampines]]. It primarily utilises the [[Tampines Expressway]] (TPE) corridor to link the north ([[Yishun]]) with the east ([[Tampines]]), making it one of five bus services (bus services {{Bus/T|161}}, {{Bus/T|168}}, {{Bus/T|858}}, and {{Bus/T|965}}) popular among residents travelling between the north and east.


As the fastest public transport link between Tampines and Yishun, this service experiences good demand all day round with significantly higher demand during peak hours. Many buses are added during peak periods to cope with the demand increase to cope with peak hour loads. The journey between Yishun and Tampines takes around 40 minutes.
Travelling between {{NS14|}} and {{EW2|}} stations takes approximately 35 minutes, whereas the MRT (via {{NS17|}}, and {{CC10|}}) takes approximately 45 minutes. The convenience makes this service a practical option for commuters, as compared to the MRT.
 
This service duplicates with {{Bus/T|bus service 965|s=965}} from [[Woodlands]] to the [[Tampines Expressway]] (TPE) corridor, with no significant difference in journey time. However, it serves Chong Pang City instead of Yishun Avenue 7, making it a popular choice among commuters in the north who frequent Chong Pang City for its amenities. As a result of high demand, high capacity 3-door buses have been frequently deployed to this service.

Route Information
Route Woodlands Interchange ↔ Tampines Interchange
Route Length 27.4 km (towards Tampines)
27 km (towards Woodlands)
Travelling Time 70 mins (1 h 10 mins)
Operator Tower Transit
(Sembawang – Yishun Bus Package)

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

Travelling between NS14Khatib and EW2DT32Tampines stations takes approximately 35 minutes, whereas the MRT (via NS17CC15Bishan, and CC10DT26MacPherson) takes approximately 45 minutes. The convenience makes this service a practical option for commuters, as compared to the MRT.

This service duplicates with bus service 965 from Woodlands to the Tampines Expressway (TPE) corridor, with no significant difference in journey time. However, it serves Chong Pang City instead of Yishun Avenue 7, making it a popular choice among commuters in the north who frequent Chong Pang City for its amenities. As a result of high demand, high capacity 3-door buses have been frequently deployed to this service.
