Circle Line Rail Bridging Service

0 Comments

The Circle Line (CCL) Rail Bridging Service (or CCL free shuttle bus service / CCL Bridging Bus) is an emergency bus service which is provided in the event of a Train Service Disruption involving the Circle Line, which is operated by SMRT Trains.

When a section of the Circle Line is suspended, this service may be activated to ferry affected commuters between affected stations, hence minimizing the impact of rail disruptions on commuters. This service may also be activated should there be a significant addition of expected travelling time along the CCL.

Activation:

When the CCL free bridging bus service is activated along a specific stretch of the CCL, information will be disseminated through SMRT and the Land Transport Authority (LTA)’s media platforms. The service will only stop at specific bus boarding points (either at bus stops or bus interchanges) which are marked out in the ticket concourse of every station.

This service is offered for free, in addition to free bus boarding of regular bus services during a disruption.
