Bus types

Singapore has four kinds of bus that run more or less straight from home to work. Here's how each one works, with every route we track.

Premium buses

Private buses licensed by LTA under its Premium Bus Service scheme. Each runs a fixed route from a housing estate to a business area such as Raffles Place, Tanjong Pagar, Marina Bay, one-north or Changi Business Park, usually with one to a few morning trips on weekdays and sometimes an evening trip back. Everyone gets a seat.

Paying: about $2 to $7.50 a ride, by card, PayNow or cash depending on the operator. Some sell monthly passes, and a few must be booked in advance. Good for: a fixed start time and a guaranteed seat.
