Route Information
Route Bedok Bus Interchange ↔ Woodlands Bus Interchange
Route Length 30.7 km (towards Woodlands)
29.9 km (towards Bedok)
Travelling Time 84 mins (1 h 24 mins)
Operator SBS Transit
(Bedok Bus Package)

Bus Service 168 is a residential inter-town route connecting Bedok and Tampines towns with Woodlands, via the Tampines Expressway corridor. The route incorporates a long express sector (~20km) between Tampines Avenue 10 and Woodlands Avenue 2 along Tampines Expressway (TPE) and Seletar Expressway (SLE), but with an intermediate stop each at Bef/Aft Punggol Rd along Tampines Expressway & Jalan Kayu.

As the fastest bus link between Bedok / Tampines and Woodlands, Service 168 benefits from fairly high demand throughout the day and double-decker buses make up the bulk of the fleet. Service 969 offers an alternative route between Tampines and Woodlands, but takes a longer journey via Yishun.

Short-Trip Bus Service 168A operates only on Weekdays & Saturdays (except Public Holidays) and it complements the peak hour demand of Bus Service 168 during morning and evening peak hours of Weekdays and Saturdays. It connects Woodlands to Tampines via the Seletar and Tampines Expressways, with stops at transfer points at Jalan Kayu and TPE (near Punggol Rd).
