Fare Information
Fare	Charges regular distance fares

Service 34 is an inter-town route serving between Punggol, Tampines and Changi Airport. As the only route spanning Tampines East and West (excluding feeder services) and few duplicating routes, this service is also important route for travelling within the estate. From Tampines Central, Service 27 serves as a much faster alternative to Changi Airport by skipping Tampines East.

With strong demand between Punggol and Tampines Central, Short-Trip Service 34A plies the sector during the morning peak hours and empty buses are added to the route from Tampines Central towards Punggol during evening peak hours.

Extension to Punggol Coast

In tandem with the opening of the Punggol Coast Bus Interchange on 29 June 2025, Service 34 will be extended from Punggol Temp Int to Punggol Coast Int via Punggol Central, Sumang Walk, Sumang Link & Punggol Way.

A timing trial was done with Member of Parliament (MP) for Punggol GRC Ms Sun Xueling and staff from the Land Transport Authority & Go-Ahead Singapore prior to the extension, in response to feedback from residents on whether the extended Service 34 could still serve Punggol Bus Interchange. The trial found that the detour is not feasible, as it would add an additional 7 to 10 minutes of travelling time and 10 cents to the bus fare for commuters to/from the extended sector. This was due to additional traffic lights from the road works for the Cross Island Line Punggol Station. The trial details and results were shared in a social media post by MP Ms Sun Xueling in early June 2025.

Changi Airport

Service 34 serves Changi Airport Terminals 3, 1, 2 & 4 in order.

Changi Airport Passenger Terminal Buildings (PTBs) 1, 2 and 3 have their bus stops integrated into their basement levels, which also serves as a cargo loading and unloading bay. Security checks for any unattended or suspicious articles are carried out before a bus enters Terminals 1, 2 and 3. Bus Captains may take a short toilet break at Terminal 2. Because of height restrictions, double-decker buses are unable to enter Changi Airport basement.

Occasionally when Changi Airport basement is closed, buses will be diverted to the departure hall along T1/T2/T3 Departure Drive where a temporary bus stop will be set up.

Announcements for passengers to inform the Bus Captain if they see any suspicious person or article are played on board public buses at Changi Airport as well.
