SBS Transit Express Service 513 provides residents of Tampines West subzone (Tampines), who rely on the rail network and feeder buses, with a direct travel alternative to the Central Business District (CBD). This service incorporates an express sector between Tampines Avenue 1 and Central Business District via Simei Avenue, Xilin Avenue, and East Coast Parkway (ECP).
This service is the 5th bus service introduced under the Land Transport Authority’s (LTA) Bus Service Enhancement Programme (BSEP), and the first peak-hour unidirectional express bus service to be introduced. This service was branded under the normal Express branding instead of the City Direct branding, as it was operated by a public transport operator rather than a private bus operator at the time of its launch.
Evening peak-hour departures will be brought forward to the afternoon on the eves of Christmas, New Year, and Lunar New Year. Revised timing will be announced closer to the respective dates by the operator.
