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.
- Alternativelely, rely on on the rail network. Familiarize oneself with walking routes in and out of the Marina Bay area.
- 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.

This road diversion map is 100% not user friendly. If people cannot understand and have no means of assessing internet to read which buses are diverted where and where can they find alternative bus stops then what’s the point?? Also, bus drivers at raffles hotel provide misinformation about other bus services. The wait at raffles hotel for bus 100 was more than 35 minutes and obviously still no bus arrived.
All buses with route diversions have configured Trapeze CFMS route information with updated distances (including those looping in the area) and temporary calling stops. EDS still as per normal.
eg. Service 960 distance travelled is 31.8km at Raffles Town Club bus stop instead of 7.1km (the usual)
It will skip Suntec City bus stop from 12-14 and 17 September from 5.30am to 9.30am. You can alight at Capitol Bldg bus stop and walk to Marina Sq via CityLink Mall (enter City Hall MRT Stn) or via Raffles City underpass (enter Raffles City Basement 2).
If you want minimal walking, you can alternatively alight at Dhoby Ghaut Stn bus stop and take the Circle Line to Esplanade MRT Stn.
May I check from 12 – 17 Sep 2018, will Bus 14E stop at the bus stop outside Suntec (heading to town) between 8 am to 8.30 am? If not, which bus stop can I alight if I am going to Marina Square?
