It goes fromTampines Bus Interchange via "Tampines Avenue 5", "Tampines Avenue 8", "Tampines Avenue 1", "Bedok Reservoir Road", "Bedok North Avenue 3" and "Bedok North Street 1" toBedok Bus Interchange and back to Tampines Bus Interchange in the reverse direction (called a loop). Most of the time,Temasek Polytechnic students would take up the bus capacity. It also goes through many schools such asSpringfield Secondary School andBedok Green Secondary School .This was the first service introduced primarily to serve Temasek Polytechnic. Services 8 and 15 were introduced to Temasek Polytechnic later. After that Service 23 (which used to go straight up Pan Island Expressway after "Tampines Avenue 5"), was diverted to serve Temasek Polytechnic. Service 518 was the last to be introduced as the link to city.
