On Saturday, 28 June 2008, nine SBS Transit bus services will be temporarily diverted due to the combined rehearsal of the National Day Parade 2008.
The two left lanes of Raffles Avenue between Temasek Avenue and the floating stage will be closed to vehicular traffic from 8.00am to 11 .00pm. As a result, Services 36, 56, 70M, 97, 111, 133, 162M, 195 and 502 will not call at the bus stop along Raffles Avenue opposite The Oriental Singapore as the buses will be travelling on the right carriageway of Raffles Avenue.
At the same time, Republic Boulevard as well as the stretch of Raffles Avenue between Temasek Avenue and Republic Boulevard will be closed from 12 noon to 11.00pm. This will result in Services 56 and 195 looping at Temasek Avenue instead of terminating at Marina Centre Terminal.
Commuters travelling to and from the said area can board and alight at the bus stops in front of The Esplanade, Pan Pacific Hotel, or opposite the Ritz-Carlton.
Commuters are likely to experience some service disruption in the area and we seek their kind understanding.
Please refer to the attached poster for details.
