Moovit wishes everybody a very Prosperous Chinese New Year. 恭喜發財,萬事如意
We wish you a very prosperous CNY, with lots of hongbao like them (With the pandemic that is affecting us, maybe e-hongbao would be better alternative)
Here are the changes:
1) Post-COVID19 Circuit Breaker Period – Changes to public transport services
We had entered Post-Covid19 Circuit Breaker Period since 2nd June. As a result, 18 routes from Franchised Bus Service, Express Bus Services, Night Buses and Chinatown Direct Bus Service that are catered for recreational demand will continue to be suspended. More details on the suspension can be found here.

To facilitate additional engineering hours to prepare the upcoming TEL Stage 2 which is scheduled to open later in the year, the Thomson-East Coast Line will end its service earlier at around 9.00 pm every day until 30 April 2021 to facilitate additional hours to test the systems in preparation of the opening of TEL Stage 2.
