Travelling Tips during the F1 period:
- Rely on the rail network. Familiarize oneself with walking routes in and out of the Marina Bay area.
- Plan for additional travel time. Road congestion is expected around the circuit park and next bus arrival timings will not be available.
- Know alternative routes to your destination.
- Approach bus drivers or interchange offices for more information on road and bus stop closures.
- Inform bus drivers out of goodwill if one decides to alight at bus stops along the diversion route.
