Tower Transit Bus Service 980 is an inter-town bus service that connects the residential estates of Sembawang, Chong Pang and along Upper Thomson Road to the central areas of Novena, Little India, Kampong Glam and Kallang. This trunk route is unique for plying the full stretch of Thomson Road and Upper Thomson Road alongside Service 167, and acts as a “feeder” bus service for the Sembawang estate alongside Service 859.
Despite running parallel to the Thomson–East Coast Line, Service 980 provides doorstep access to recreational areas, heritage areas, markets and shopping facilities along its route. In addition, it is also the only service that directly connects Little India and Kampong Glam via sections of Middle Road.
As a result of this route's unique connections, more double decker buses are deployed to handle increased passenger demand during weekends and public holidays, and two daily midnight downroute trips have been added from Novena to Sembawang.
