Travelling Tips during the F1 period:

  • If relying on public bus services, familiarize oneself with diversion routes and alternative bus boarding/alighting stops along the diverted roads
  • Plan for additional travel time. Road congestion is expected around the circuit park and next bus arrival timings will not be available.
  • When in doubt, rely on the rail network. Familiarize oneself with walking routes in and out of the Marina Bay area.
  • 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.
