SBS Transit Bus Service 174 is an inter-town service directly connecting the town centres of Jurong West, Bukit Batok, as well as residential estates along Bukit Timah Road and Farrer Road to the central areas of Orchard, City Hall and Outram.

This service has a more direct route with special service coverage between Bukit Batok, Bukit Timah, Farrer Road, Napier, as well as the shopping areas along Tanglin Road and in Orchard. In addition, it passes by several key schools and institutions in Bukit Timah and Bukit Batok alongside Service 157. As a result, it has been met with high demand by both residents and students commuting to nearby town centres, schools and shopping amenities throughout the day.

Service 174 is also unique for being the only service to ply a different section in Outram via Chin Swee Road, providing basic bus services to residents to access nearby Chinatown, Outram Park and Singapore General Hospital. Historically, it was the remaining service to ply the now-defunct stretch of the historically known Jurong Road, before the service was amended away in 2020 due to the permanent closure of the road to facilitate new residential developments in Tengah.

During weekday peak hours, a unidirectional express variant, Express 174e provides a faster, limited-stop commute, skipping bus stops in Bukit Timah.
