This express route takes just 25 minutes from Sengkang to Loyang Industrial Estate via a longer stretch of TPE, which offers significant time savings for industrial and office workers. Thus, it is one of the best known express services to have significantly high demand and has a full fleet of Double-Decker buses. Between 2022 and 2024, Service 89e received a series of service upgrades which saw the increase of the number of trips and extensions to its operating hours.
