Notes:


Travelling Tips during the F1 period:

  • Commuters are advised to take public transport to reach the Marina Centre and City areas.
  • If relying on public bus services, familiarise oneself with diversion routes and alternative bus boarding/alighting stops along the diverted roads
  • Plan for additional travel time. Road congestion is expected around the circuit park, and next bus arrival timings will not be available.
  • Approach bus drivers or interchange offices for more information on road and bus stop closures.
  • Inform bus drivers out of goodwill if one decides to alight at bus stops along the diversion route.
