Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

The late afternoon departures are highly recommended, allowing you to see the city in the golden hour and watch the Marina Bay skyline light up as dusk falls. Avoid the midday heat if you plan to sit on the open top deck, and note that the bus operates daily except on Mondays.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

• Sit on the left side of the top deck when heading towards Marina Bay Sands for the best uninterrupted framing of the iconic hotel and the Singapore Flyer.

• Use a fast shutter speed or burst mode when shooting from the moving bus to ensure crisp, blur-free images of passing landmarks like the Esplanade.

• Capture the stunning contrast of old and new by photographing the heritage shophouses of Chinatown with the towering CBD skyscrapers in the background.

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

Singapore is a multicultural society, so you will pass by diverse places of worship like temples, mosques, and churches; please dress modestly and behave respectfully if you decide to hop off and explore. Tipping is not expected or required in Singapore, including for the bus staff and audio guide services.

Special Events & Experiences

Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights

• Ride during the Christmas season to see Orchard Road and Marina Bay spectacularly illuminated with festive light-ups and decorations.

• Experience the vibrant street decorations and bustling atmosphere when cruising through Chinatown during the Lunar New Year or the Mid-Autumn Festival.

• Catch the breathtaking National Day fireworks and patriotic light displays around the Marina Bay area if you visit in early August.

Important Guidelines & Safety

Essential safety information and guidelines

• Remain seated while the bus is in motion, especially on the open-top deck, to prevent accidents from sudden stops or low-hanging tree branches.

• Hold onto your hats, loose items, and mobile phones securely when riding the upper deck to prevent them from blowing away in the wind.

• Stay hydrated by bringing a bottle of water, as the tropical heat and humidity can cause dehydration quickly on the open deck.
