From 16 to 21 September, the originating and terminating points of Services 97e and 195 will also be temporarily changed as a result of road closures.
Service 97e
During the weekday morning peak hours, Service 97e will not terminate at its regular bus stop in front of Pan Pacific Hotel (02089) along Raffles Boulevard. After the bus stop opposite the Ogilvy Centre (03071) along Robinson Road, it will travel to One Raffles Quay (03059) and terminate its service there. With this route change, it will skip seven bus stops along Marina Boulevard, Bayfront Avenue, Temasek Avenue, Temasek Boulevard and Raffles Boulevard
For its weekday evening peak hour return journey, it will commence from the bus stop in front of One Raffles Quay (03059) and arrive at the UIC Building (03129) in Shenton Way, skipping 10 bus stops along Raffles Avenue, Temasek Boulevard, Temasek Avenue, Bayfront Avenue and Central Boulevard.
Service 195
Service 195 will be amended to operate from the New Bridge Road Terminal instead of Marina Centre Terminal. Hence, it will temporarily call at 10 stops along Eu Tong Sen Street and New Bridge Road. However, it will have to skip seven bus stops on its regular route along Raffles Avenue, North Bridge Road, North Boat Quay, Parliament Place and Raffles Boulevard.
C) iris NextBus
From 15 to 21 September, iris NextBus will not be available for the 33 affected bus services.
Passengers who query iris via SMS for any of the affected services during this period will receive an SMS informing them that the bus arrival information is not available. This incoming SMS will not be charged. Similarly, this information will also not be available on the SBS Transit iris app and website during the same period.
During the F1 period, commuters may experience some service disruptions/delays in their travel due to road closures. We seek their kind understanding.
