SBS Transit Feeder Service 293 is a feeder service that serves residents along Tampines Avenue 3, Tampines Street 71, Tampines Avenue 9, Tampines Avenue 7 and Tampines Street 42. It connects residential blocks, schools, and public amenities in Tampines Neighbourhoods 7 and 8 in the West loop and Tampines Neighbourhood 4 in the East loop to Tampines Regional Centre.

Formerly known as Townlink Service 293, the Townlink branding was discontinued in August 2018 as part of a standardisation exercise by the Land Transport Authority. Terminating trips of Service 293 were also changed to a ‘T’ suffix during this period, which were previously indicated using a ‘T’ plate on the windscreen of buses.

On the eves of public holidays, operating hours are extended to align with the last train at EW2DT32Tampines. Revised timing will be announced by the operator closer to the respective dates.
