SBS Transit Feeder Service 261 is a short feeder route serving residents and schools at Ang Mo Kio Neighborhood 4 (along Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10). Demand for the service is moderate to high throughout the day especially during peak hours, since it connects from Ang Mo Kio MRT Station and Town Centre to the housing estates and schools (such as Townsville Primary School, which 261 previously exclusively served during a school-friendly bus service trial) along Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10. The service also provides connections to and from Ang Mo Kio Industrial Park 1.
