Public Transport Service Adjustments

To improve commuter service and strengthen the reliability and resilience of our transport system, temporary service adjustments are needed for renewal and expansion works. 

These adjustments have been carefully planned to ensure that commuters will always have access to alternative rail routes and bus services where possible. Commuters are advised to plan their journeys in advance and expect additional travelling time. 

Please refer to LTA's MyTransport.SG mobile app and LTA’s and the public transport operators’ social media platforms for more details and updates.
