SMRT Buses Service 181 is a residential service connecting EW27Boon Lay to residential neighbourhoods along Jurong West Street 64, Jurong West Street 75, Jurong West Avenue 5 and Jurong West Avenue 3, complementing feeder services 243G and 243W up till Gek Poh Shopping Centre.

Despite its classification as a trunk service, it only serves the Jurong West planning area and loops at a dedicated u-turn point at Jurong West Avenue 3, at which future developments might serve a purpose for this service.

During weekday morning peak hours of the school term, supplementary variant Service 181M provides students a direct connection to Coporation Primary School along Jurong West Street 23. Service 181 will not operate while Service 181M is in operation. On the eve of public holidays, operating hours will be extended to align with the extended train service hours at EW27Boon Lay. Extended last bus timings will be provided by the operator closer to the affected day.
