Bus Service 62 is an inter-town trunk route linking Punggol, Sengkang, Hougang and Lorong Ah Soo with Aljunied and Sims Avenue.

It is currently the only service to loop at Sims Ave, via Lorong 1 Geylang without calling at the terminal.

Short-Trip Service 62A operates during the Weekday evening peak hours. It mainly supplements the high demand for Bus Service 62 from inter-town commuters, connecting residential estates of Punggol, Sengkang, Hougang, Upper Serangoon, Lorong Ah Soo and MacPherson.
