There will also be a \u201csignificant extension\u201d of public transport service hours to accommodate the activities.<\/p>\n
Train services on SMRT\u2019s North-South, East-West, Circle and Thomson-East Coast lines will be extended, with the last trains departing between 1.38am and 2.15am.<\/p>\n
Trains on SBS Transit\u2019s Downtown and North East lines, as well as on the Sengkang-Punggol LRT system, will be extended by about two hours and 15 minutes.<\/p>\n
“There will not be a need to rush after midnight to catch the last trains,” the police said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“After the event, dispersal is likely to be slow and will take considerable time due to the large crowds. There will be designated routes out of Marina Bay and Kallang Basin to facilitate safe and orderly dispersal.”<\/p>\n
Signs will be put up to guide people on the routes for dispersal. These include six new digital animated signboards placed around Marina Bay to provide information such as alternate MRT routes and last train timings.<\/p>\n
Crowd flow into the train stations will also be regulated, and commuters may be directed to other MRT stations nearby to avoid overcrowding.<\/p>\n
“We seek your understanding to head to these less-crowded MRT stations and use the interconnected MRT networks to get to your intended destination,” said the police.<\/p>\n
“Alternatively, you can head to the other islandwide festivities, including those at the heartlands, for a more convenient and fuss-free journey,” they added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
