Shuttle 37A: Serangoon—Paya Lebar Shuttle Bus Service

Shuttle 37A is a Rail Replacement Service for the Circle Line (CCL), operating one-way from Serangoon to Paya Lebar (but skipping Bartley).

The service will operate on weekday morning peak hours from 5 January 2026 to 13 April 2026 (originally planned till 17 April 2026). During this period, CCL train services will be affected by tunnel maintenance works, which will take place daily from 17 January to 9 April 2026 (originally planned till 19 April 2026).

Although modified CCL train operations and tunnel maintenance works commence on Saturday, 17 January 2026, Shuttle 37A will begin operations earlier on Monday, 5 January 2026, to allow commuters to familiarise themselves with the shuttle bus arrangements.

This service was originally planned to operate till 17 April 2026. With the early completion of works and regular train service resuming on 10 April 2026 (as announced on 26 March 2026), Shuttle 37A will operate at reduced frequencies on 10 & 13 April 2026, with the last day of service on Monday 13 April 2026.
