SINGAPORE - All train services and selected bus services will run later during the Formula One Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix from Sept 30 to Oct 2.

The race, making a comeback after a two-year break due to the pandemic, will take place around the Marina Centre and Padang area.

Train services will be available at City Hall MRT station till 12.30am on Sept 30 and Oct 1, and till 12.45am on Oct 2.

The operating hours for selected feeder bus services will also be extended to match the last train services, said the Land Transport Authority (LTA) in a statement on Thursday.

Public transport operator SMRT will extend the operating hours of the North-South, East-West, Circle and Thomson-East Coast lines by between ½ and 1 hour.

On Oct 2, the last trains to Pasir Ris, Marina South Pier, Jurong East and Tuas Link MRT stations will leave City Hall MRT station at 12.45am instead of 12.10am, 11.53pm and 11.55pm for the latter two respectively.

During the three days, SMRT will also extend the operating hours of some of its bus services that start from the bus interchanges in Choa Chu Kang and Woodlands.
