In addition, bus services diverted to North Bridge Road will not call at these two bus stops during the closure hours.
E: Services with extended operating hours during the F1 period:
From 30 Sep (Fri) – 2 Oct (Sun), the following residential bus services will be extended:
Feeder services that call at the interchange twice in a single trip will have their last buses perform one of each loop, departing the interchange at the same time. (e.g. Feeder 359 East and West loops departing Pasir Ris at 1.15am and performing one loop only). These buses will have the T Suffix (e.g. Service 307T, 358T, 359T, 811T, 812T, 911T & 913T).
I am wondering why is the bus arrival information for the diverted service not available, as the information is still available during NDP diversion, just that not so accurate in the affected areas. It actually inconvenienced commuters who are living far from the affected areas (eg 960 in Woodlands, 97 in Jurong East, 14 in Bedok, etc).
I would suggest leaving the bus arrival timings as it is (similar to the NDP period) but let users know the timing might not be accurate (Apps that show actual bus locations actually help a lot in setting expectations during this period)
Commuters should be advised that bus services diverted to call at additional bus stops during this period should avoid if possible. Today, I waited for two bus service 130 at Clarke Quay Station but the drivers did not stop and just drove past even though I did my best to flag down the buses. Same was observed for other diverted bus services. Most drivers do not seem to stop at the additional bus stops or are not well trained to do so. Disappointed in this.

So are there any special brochure for this ?.
