Notes:


Travelling Tips during the F1 period:

  • Commuters are advised to take public transport to reach the Marina Centre and City areas.
  • 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.
  • 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.

    If 121 goes to Marina Centre, then 121 will end up have to use Gardens by the Bay coach park terminus instead. And also for service 195 (no need to go to Kampong Bahru Bus Terminal).
