Bus & Train Services Extended On New Year’s Eve 2020, So You Can Celebrate A Little Longer

Last Bus & Train Extensions For New Year’s Eve 2020

With Phase 3 arriving just in time for New Year’s countdown celebrations, this is the chance for socially-distanced outings and gatherings — and with them come revised bus and train timings.

To allow revellers to stay out a little while longer, 3 of the 4 public transport operators here have announced changes to their last train and bus timings for Thursday (31 Dec).

Those travelling to and from the city area need not face severe surges in cab fares on New Year’s.

This is if you’re taking bus and trains from SMRT, SBS Transit, and Tower Transit.

Enjoy your New Year’s celebrations responsibly

Do note that Go-Ahead Singapore bus services will not have extended operating hours.

Be sure to check your service before deciding to stay out for the night.

Also, always ensure that you’re following all safe distancing measures and that you’re not breaking any of them.

This is a time of celebration, but there’ll also be enforcers around to ensure everyone’s celebrating without risking others.
