Night, Express & City Direct Bus Services Will Cease Till 1 Jun Due To Fewer Passengers

Bus Service Closures Extended Till 1 Jun Confirms LTA

Since there’s a month of ‘Circuit Breaker’ left before we can go out freely again, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) has extended the suspension of some bus services.

Most services affected involve Night, City Direct and Express buses due to lower passenger count since traffic to the city has fallen.

Here are the details on which bus routes are affected.

Night, city & express bus services suspended until 1 Jun

As announced previously, certain bus services will be suspended for the duration of the ‘Circuit Breaker’, until 1 June.

All previously suspended bus services, except bus 89e, will continue to not operate from 25 Apr-1 Jun, until the ‘Circuit Breaker’ is over.

Observe safe distancing when taking public transport

If you do have to take public transport, do note that passengers must observe safe distancing by sitting only on allotted seats and standing at least 1 metre apart from other passengers.

All passengers must wear face masks while taking public transport too.

Passengers are reminded to take public transport and travel only when it is absolutely necessary.

Hope we’ll resume normalcy soon

Hopefully these extended bus route closures won’t affect your daily commutes, which should already be minimised during the Circuit Breaker period.

Do remain vigilant and take care during this period.

We all have a part to play in getting community transmissions down, and helping our country win the battle against Covid-19.
