Route Information
Route	Bedok North Depot ↔ Buona Vista Terminal
Route Length	24.5 km (towards Buona Vista) 24.4 km (towards Bedok North Depot)
Travelling Time	85 mins (1 h 25 mins)
Operator	(Clementi Bus Package)

Bus Service 48 spans from East to West, connecting Simpang Bedok, Bedok South, Marine Parade, Bukit Timah, Farrer and Holland Village with the City areas of Bugis, Rochor Canal, Little India and Newton Circus. It incorporates an express sector between Rochor and Tanjong Katong along the East Coast Parkway (ECP).

As a popular link between Marine Parade and Little India with little alternative routes, much of its demand is encountered along that sector. It is the only route between Holland Village and Bukit Timah Road, and has enhanced connectivity for Bedok South Avenue 3 and Simpang Bedok residents ever since its route extension from Upper East Coast Ter to Bedok North Depot in 2011.

Double-deck buses were deployed to Service 48 from 28 November 2016.
