SBS Transit CityBuzz Services

Introduction

SBS Transit CityBuzz Services were introduced on 13th December 2004 with 3 key routes calling at the designated bus stops around Singapore's popular tourist destinations, mainly the Orchard Route (C1), the Chinatown Route (C2) and the Little India Route (C3). The Esplanade (Stop 1), The Pan Pacific Hotel (Stop 15 [for C1 & C3]) and The Oriental Singapore (Stop 16) were used as a transfer point for CityBuzz Services.

These services used to operate from 10am to 10pm daily and charges at a flat fare of $1.00 per trip by ez-link card or cash. Double-decker buses were fully deployed on the 3 CityBuzz Services, allowing passengers to enjoy cool comfort while exploring the sights of Singapore. For unlimited rides on CityBuzz Services, a 1-day CityBuzzPass can be obtained at $5 (later on increased to $6 on 1st May 2006) from TransitLink Ticket Offices, the Singapore Visitors Centre at Orchard Rd, bus captains onboard CityBuzz Services and authorised sales agents. CityBuzz Services can be identified with "a friendly bee" with a special service plate to distinct away from normal red service plates. All 3 CityBuzz Services start and end its trip based on the designated key stops.

The CityBuzzPass Privileges Programme was also been introduced to those who present the CityBuzzPass to selected merchants for discounts and special offers.

CityBuzz Services ran as a "monorail" concept. Passengers need not press the bus stopping bell, as the chime will sound to identify the next bus stop.

Due to declining demand, all CityBuzz Services were discontinued from 1st January 2007. Its last day of service was on 31st December 2006.
