Bus Stops

A bus stop is a designated spot where buses stop for passenger boarding and alighting activities. Bus stops in Singapore are constructed by the authorities and utilised by public and private bus operators alike. For most bus services, boarding and alighting en-route are only allowed at bus stops. Some bus stops also function as starting and/or terminating points of bus routes.

As of January 2024, there are 5,103 bus stops in operation islandwide.

A separate article is dedicated to bus stops that were abolished by the Land Transport Authority (LTA): Removed Bus Stops.

Physical Infrastructure

A bus stop’s primary design is functional, providing a safe place for boarding and alighting activities. They consist of a few components, as listed below:

• Bus Bay:
  Designated stopping area for buses. Some bus stops use a marked yellow rectangle painted on the road; other bus stops have a dedicated zone off the main road where space is sufficient for construction. The latter usually includes yellow box-junctions marked just ahead of the bus bay, so buses can exit safely. Bus bays are constructed with rigid pavement (i.e. concrete slab) for durability and to withstand the constant start-stop movement of buses.
• Bus Stop Pole:
  A metal pole erected beside the bus stop, which shows the bus routes that call at the particular stop. These bus service numbers are printed on plastic plates, making rearrangement and replacement of route numbers more convenient. The bus stop poles come with small notice boards which provide bus timings (for bus services operating under the On-Time Adherence (OTA) indicator), diversion notices, or other relevant bus service updates.
• Bus Stop Shelter:
  A covered structure sheltering commuters from the elements; almost always comes with seats. Almost all bus stops in Singapore have shelters. Older bus stops in HDB towns have shelters in unique designs. Some bus stops without shelters can be found at bus stops adjacent to buildings with covered walkways, or in rural areas like Neo Tiew and Lim Chu Kang.
• Safety Bollards:
  Steel and concrete bollards help to protect commuters in the event of a vehicle collision. Painted grey, with a retroreflective yellow sheet and black arrows printed on the upper portion. Installed at most bus stops with regular commuter traffic.
• Information Board:
  An encased information board with service information. Regularly updated by LTA with new routes or changes to existing information. Can be free-standing or mounted to a glass panel in newer designs. Service information is sometimes attached to the bus stop pole when building one is impractical.
• Bus Arrival Panel:
  Provides real-time information on when the next bus will arrive. Often installed at bus stops with high commuter traffic, so commuters can plan their journeys better.
• Advertising Board:
  Frequently found at urban and suburban bus stops alike. Advertising companies like JCDecaux and Clear Channel are in charge of their maintenance and management of advertising matters. Suburban advertising boards usually consist of back-illuminated posters. Urban bus stop advertising employs LCD display boards, and bus stops along the shopping district have TV screens and occasionally fully-decorated concept advertising.
  

With the introduction of wheelchair-accessible bus travel, assessment of bus stops along wheelchair-accessible bus routes had to be conducted before such a route can be launched. This determines if the design of the bus stop is safe for wheelchair boarding and alighting activity. Bus stops with a flight of steps beside the kerb, as well as others without pedestrian routes leading to the bus stops, are not designated as wheelchair-accessible stops.

Bus Stop Shelter Designs

In Singapore, most bus stops have a standard design featuring a grey steel structure, while temporary bus stops are painted in white and orange to facilitate easy relocation. Bus stops located near transport hubs are typically larger and feature a roof canopy to shield passengers from the weather. Additionally, some bus stops near tourist attractions or other places of interest boast unique architectural designs.

Certain regions in Singapore, including Pasir Ris, Tampines, Choa Chu Kang, and Jurong West, once had bus stops with a consistent design that contributed to the distinct identity of these areas. However, many of these bus stops have been replaced with the LTA’s standardized designs.

On-off bus stops have been built with unique features on a trial basis, such as Project Bus Stop (2016) in Jurong East, and the Airbitat Oasis Smart Bus Stop (2018) at Dhoby Ghaut.

Bus Stops without shelters

Nearly all bus stops in Singapore have passenger shelters. A handful of bus stops without shelters can be found in the countryside (e.g. Neo Tiew Cres), or at bus stops served only infrequently by night bus services. LTA-managed night bus services were abolished in 2022, along with many of these bus stops.

Some bus stops without shelters can be found at bus stops adjacent to buildings with covered walkways, such as those along Balestier Rd, Sims Ave / Geylang Rd, and Joo Chiat Rd. Other bus stops are located underneath covered structures and do not require a bus stop shelter, such as Raffles Blvd (Promenade Stn/Pan Pacific), and Mandai Lake Road (B01/B02).

Bus Stop Poles

Bus stops in Singapore feature a metal pole that displays the bus routes that serve that particular stop. The current design of the bus stop posts was introduced in 2009, creating a consistent and easily-recognisable identity for the entire bus network.

The design of the pole is consistent and based on their location, with different designs for standard, town centre, and Central Business District (CBD) areas. Standard bus stops consist of a single pole with “flags” displaying the bus services that stop at that location. For town centres and CBD areas, larger two-legged posts are used to accommodate the higher volume of bus services. These CBD posts can display up to five bus service numbers arranged horizontally, and ensures that commuters in these busy areas can quickly and easily identify the bus services they need.

The bus service numbers are printed on plastic tiles, which allows for easy rearrangement and replacement of route numbers. Additionally, the posts are accompanied by small notice boards that display bus timings for less-frequent OTA services, diversions, or other updates related to the bus services.

In addition to bus services operated by Public Transport Operators (PTOs), other public bus services such as Premium and shuttle bus services can also have their service numbers and route details listed on bus stop poles, subject to further engagement with the LTA. This helps to ensure that commuters are aware of the availability of other public bus services. Scheme B bus services were previously also indicated on bus stop poles, but had since been removed from bus stop poles between 2022 and 2023 for unknown reasons.

Bus Service Colours

The current design of the bus stop posts in Singapore was introduced in 2009, and bus service tiles were colour-coded to match their operator or service type. For instance, SBS Transit services were indicated in white font with red background, SMRT services in black font with grey background, Fast-Forward services in white font with orange background, and Express services in white font with navy blue background.

From September 2016, as part of the Transition to the Bus Contracting Model, all public bus services were gradually changed to be indicated in black font with Lush Green background. This was done to align with the LTA’s unified livery for all buses, creating a consistent and easily-recognisable identity for the entire bus network.

Other public bus services not operated by PTOs would be indicated in black font with light teal background to differentiate them from public buses. City Direct services, and Bus Services LCS1 and LCS2, are indicated in a similar background, but with olive font instead.

Bus Stop Naming

Also check out: Acronyms and Abbreviations

Bus stops in Singapore are named according to nearby landmarks, frequently coupled with a distinguishing adjective. Often, abbreviations of landmark names will be used as far as possible, These landmarks can be HDB blocks, private apartments and condominiums, MRT stations, shopping malls, buildings and so forth. Street names are frequently used too.

Since the start of the BCM, the exit alphabets (for NSL, EWL, NEL, CCL & DTL and all LRT stations) / exit numbers (for TEL stations) are added behind their bus stop names to improve navigation between bus stops and MRT/LRT stations.

Under the BCM, bus stop names are reviewed by the LTA on a quarterly basis, in conjunction with the quarterly changes to distances between bus stops, to ensure that they remain up-to-date as far as possible. These reviews usually take place in January, April, July and October of each year, but ad-hoc changes to bus stop names are implemented from time to time, following the opening of new MRT lines / stations.

Adjectives used in bus stop names are always abbreviated. Common ones include Before (Bef), After (Aft), Opposite (Opp), and so on.

Examples are:

• Mandai Lake Rd (S’pore Zoo)
• Holland Rd (Bef Tyersall Ave)
• Robinson Rd (Aft Capital Twr)
• Yishun Ave 2 (Opp Yishun Sports Hall)

Bus Stop Codes:

Every bus stop in Singapore is accompanied with a unique 5-digit bus stop code used for easy identification. One can deduce the rough location of any bus stop by looking at the first digit of the bus stop code:

• 0: Downtown Singapore, Orchard & Chinatown areas, Bugis & Lavender
• 1: HarbourFront, Bukit Merah, River Valley, Tanglin, Farrer / Holland Rd, Buona Vista, Pasir Panjang, Clementi, West Coast
• 2: Jurong East, Jurong West, Tuas
• 3: Jalan Bahar, Old Choa Chu Kang
• 4: Bukit Timah, Lornie, Bukit Batok, Upper Bukit Timah, Choa Chu Kang, Bukit Panjang, Kranji, Neo Tiew, Woodlands, Admiralty, Johor Bahru
• 5: Moulmein, Toa Payoh, Bishan, Ang Mo Kio, Thomson, Lentor, Yishun, Sembawang
• 6: Kallang Bahru, Serangoon, Hougang, Sengkang, Punggol, Seletar West
• 7: MacPherson, Ubi, Kaki Bukit, Tampines, Pasir Ris
• 8: Kallang, Geylang, Joo Chiat, Telok Kurau, Eunos, Bedok, Bedok Reservoir, Simpang Bedok
• 9: Mountbatten, East Coast, Upper East Coast, Simei, Loyang, Changi

Most bus stops end with the digit ‘1’ or ‘9’. The last digit is used to differentiate the direction of the services. If it ends with ‘1’ for a service travelling from A to B, the pairing of this bus stop across the road for direction B to A will have a bus stop number ending with ‘9’.

However, certain congested roads in Singapore have staggered bus stops, such as along Orchard Road. In this case, end digits ‘2’, ‘3’, ‘7’ and ‘8’ are used to identify staggered stops and the direction of the service. ‘2’ and ‘3’ are used for bus stops that are staggered in one direction while ‘7’ and ‘8’ are used for staggered bus stops in the other direction.

An exception to the usual protocol arose in June 2024 concerning Bus Stop 92041 along Marine Parade Road (Opp Parkway Parade; later renamed on 23 June 2024 to Marine Pde Stn Exit 2). In conjunction with the opening of the Marine Parade Thomson-East Coast Line Station, an additional staggered bus stop was constructed. Initially intended to be designated as Bus Stop 92031, as indicated by station locality maps displayed before the station’s official opening, it unexpectedly commenced operation on 9 June 2024 under the designation of Bus Stop 92041A. Consequently, several bus services originally serving Bus Stop 92041 were redirected to this newly established stop without prior announcement. However, by 15 June 2024, the bus stop number was updated back to Bus Stop 92041 again.

Staggered Bus Stops

Main Article: Staggered Bus Stops

Staggered bus stops are commonly found in the city, along roads which experience high volumes of vehicular and human traffic. They help disperse traffic by grouping bus services heading towards a similar general direction. By separating route groups and allocating separate bus stops for each group, commuters can be spread out into different bus stops, while still having multiple bus services to their destinations.

Not all bus services are staggered at such bus stops. Sometimes, bus routes call at staggered stops not allocated to their route group because they are unable to call at the subsequent stop (Hill Street has several cases).

Connected Bus Stops with Staggering of Bus Services

The Staggered Bus Stops article also covers several bus stops where the stopping location of different bus services is physically separated. This is done to reduce overcrowding where many bus services call at a particular bus stop, especially at bus stops with high volumes of boarding and alighting passengers (hence longer bus dwell time). Examples include the MacRitchie Reservoir bus stop along Thomson Road (Bus Stop 51071), Changi Airport Terminals 1,2,3 & 4, and along Tampines Expressway (before/after Punggol Road, Bus Stop 65191/65199).

---

Originating / Terminating Points for Bus Services

Some bus stops are used as start and end points of bus routes. This is especially common for small bus termini (like Lim Chu Kang, Rumah Tinggi, Sims Place and Ghim Moh), where a bus stop is used as the waiting area, while buses park alongside the road or a small parking lot not far from the bus stop. Some bus termini with proper bus parks, such as Changi Village, Kent Ridge and Lorong 1 Geylang, also have bus stop shelters to facilitate boarding / alighting activities. Some bus termini (e.g. Marina Centre) do not come with a waiting area and commuters can only board / alight at the first and last stop before the termini respectively.

Various peak-hour trunk, Premium, Express and all City Direct bus routes start and end their trips at various bus stops. In addition, most short-trip services, which supplement their parent bus services by operating along selected segments of their routes, may originate and terminate at bus stops.

The following table illustrates selected full day trunk / feeder / Express / former Chinatown Direct bus services (excluding short-trip services) that start/end at bus stops, excluding bus services operating from bus termini that do not permit boarding/alighting activities:

Bus Stops served by Bus Services bi-directionally

Due to road limitations along some roads in Singapore, selected bus stops are served by bus services travelling in both directions. For instance, bus services that serve the Serangoon Garden Circus call at the same bus stop (66271) in both directions, due to the lack of space for a separate bus stop to differentiate between buses coming from each direction.

To differentiate between their direction of travel, bus services that serve the same bus stop in both directions can be differentiated based on the destination displayed on the Electronic Display Systems (EDS), or utilise special red/white destination plates which indicate their direction of travel (for SBS Transit services only).

The following table illustrates bus stops that are served by bus services in both directions, as well as the methods used to differentiate their direction of travel:

Schemes & Measures

Main Article: Bus Priority Schemes in Singapore

Buses frequently spend time trying to merge into traffic while leaving a bus bay, which can take as long as 60 seconds in heavy traffic conditions. As such, the Mandatory Give Way to Buses scheme was announced in 2008 under the Land Transport Master Plan (LTMP). Under the scheme, motorists approaching the bus bay must be wary of exiting buses, and they must come to a complete stop before the “Give Way” line and give way to buses exiting the bus bay at the location.

As of February 2013, there are a total of 218 bus stops under this scheme. In March 2013, the Ministry of Transport announced plans to increase the scheme to an additional 150 bus stops over the next two years.

Also, LTA has implemented a bus signal priority scheme in 2009, to give priority to buses at traffic light junctions. These are installed at junctions where bus stops with high demand are located right before traffic lights, and this helps buses to easily filter to outer lanes. Traffic lights under this scheme carry the “B Sign for Buses”, which allow buses on the leftmost lane to move off first before the main traffic light turns green.

List of bus stops with priority signal lights:

• 03011 – Cecil St (Prudential Twr)
• 03223 – Anson Rd (Tanjong Pagar Stn Exit C)
• 04121 – Stamford Rd (SMU)
• 08057 – Orchard Rd (Dhoby Ghaut Stn)
• 40019 – Bt Timah Rd (Little India Stn)
• 54247 – Ang Mo Kio Ave 3 (Blk 322)
• 76191 – Tampines Ave 7 (Blk 401)
• 76199 – Tampines Ave 7 (Blk 503)

List of bus stops with traffic lights to allow buses in bus bay to filter out:

• 28309 – Jurong Town Hall Rd (Intl Business Pk)
• 43452 – Bt Batok Rd (Aft Bt Batok West Ave 3)

Some bus stops serve as key transfer points between various bus services, owing to their location and the routing nature of various routes where only transferring between certain bus services is only available at one particular bus stop. As such, these ‘transfer hubs’, or bus hubs (as LTA calls it), experience higher commuter traffic than expected, with buses dwelling longer at such stops and causing delays to other buses. LTA has responded by upgrading 35 bus stops to bus hubs, by extending the length of the bus stop and increasing commuter facilities to boost the handing capacity of such bus stops. All works were completed in 2013.

With bigger bus bays, bus hubs can accommodate up to 3 single/double deck or 2 articulated buses to berth in the bay for simultaneous boarding and alighting activities, reducing the average time each bus needs to dwell at the bus stops. Previously, the bus stops could each only accommodate up to 2 single/double deck or 1 articulated bus.

Upgrading of Bus Stops (2021 – 2025)

In February 2022, Senior Minister of State for Transport Chee Hong Tat announced in a Facebook post that 360 bus stops islandwide will be upgraded to make them more senior-friendly. The upgrading works will include the removal of steps, adjustment of the kerb height between the bus stop shelter and bus bay, and replacement of lighting. Additional seats and spaces will also be constructed where possible to provide greater convenience for seniors and commuters using wheelchairs. Weather-protection measures, such as the retrofitting of screens to limit commuters’ exposure to rain, are also installed at these upgraded bus stops.

These upgrading works are scheduled for completion under the Bus Stop Infrastructure Programme, which was first launched in 2019. 117 bus stops have been prioritised by the LTA for the upgrading programme since 2021, and are expected to be fully completed by the end of 2023. The remaining bus stops are scheduled to be upgraded by mid-2025.

Bus Stop Advertising

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) issues multi-year tenders for the maintenance and management of bus shelter spaces. These tenderers, usually outdoor advertising companies, reap the benefits of bus stop advertising revenue while being responsible for their cleaning and maintenance.

Previous bus shelter advertising contracts have been awarded to companies like JCDecaux and Clear Channel.
