Bus Service Changes

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.

Train

Line: East-West Line (EWL)

When? From 29 November to 8 December, EWL Simei and Tanah Merah stations will be closed. There will be no train service on the EWL between:

• Bedok and Tampines stations, and
• Tanah Merah and Expo stations.

Shuttle trains will operate between these stations:

• Tampines and Pasir Ris
• Paya Lebar and Bedok
• Expo and Changi Airport
  
  

Why? This is to integrate the East-West Line (EWL) to the new East Coast Integrated Depot (ECID). The new Tanah Merah station platform will also be operationalised.

How can I continue my journey? Shuttle buses will be available to serve commuters at the closed MRT stations. 

• Shuttle 7 will run between Bedok and Tampines stations (frequency of 3 to 5 minutes)
