Bus Network
Weaving into the heartlands, business hubs and tourist attractions, buses bring you closer to your destination. They are one of the most convenient and accessible modes of public transport in Singapore.
Public bus services are operated by four operators under LTA’s Bus Contracting Model. LTA issues licences to both public and private bus operators to operate bus services and regulates bus advertising.
Types of Bus Services
Trunk & Feeder Bus Services
Trunk Bus Services: These are the backbone of the public bus network, plying longer routes that take you from one neighbourhood to another, or into the various parts of town.
Feeder Bus Services: These offer transfers from MRT stations and bus interchanges to surrounding housing estates and industrial areas. It also connects you to various neighbourhoods within the same estate.

Premium Bus Services
Premium Bus Services typically ply between major residential estates and key industrial/ commercial nodes such as the Central Business District (CBD) or Industrial/ Business Parks during the peak hours. Designed to ease the rush-hour crowd, Premium Bus Services charge a premium fare but offer a more direct connection as compared to existing public transport options. Premium Bus Services are operated by private bus operators based on commercial consideration.
