This list specifies first bus timings for services that have early trips (ETs) that departs from a bus stop halfway along a long route. This is provided as the TransitLink Guide & other bus guides only provides first & last bus timings from their origin interchange/terminal even though there are such early trips to make sure those commuters towards the end of a long route need not wait for too long and be late for their work/school.

For such purposes, looping point is provided as the 'direction' if it is a loop service. Brown colour is used to denote day(s) where it is not applicable. Previous stops will not be applicable for bus stops after an express sector.

Additions welcome.

Thanks to sbst275 for your suggestion on the topic name. And thanks to service_238 and freakybuses for your information.

This list is now available on sgWiki.

This thread is being unsticked and will be passed on down as an archive.

thanks for your info. tat was a lot. and sorry for updating only after midnight.

regarding svc 56 ET departing from Novena Stn, it has been extended to depart from Little India Stn 5 mins earlier at 0550hrs instead, probably since the opening of NEL. thus, although there will still be a svc 56 ET arriving at Opp Novena Ch at 0555hrs, it no longer starts from there.

regarding svc 56 ET departing from Toa Payoh Stn, sorry but i can't find such information on the SBS Web/WAP guides. in fact, one of my starting points for this exercise was to check the timings at Opp Toa Payoh Stn and i eventually had to find all the way up and down to obtain the information i need on ETs on 56, 105 & 153, which were the first to be posted.

the bus stop name on TG'04 is, unfortunately, "(Opp) SBS Transit Bedok North Bus Pk". but rest assured it's Bedok North Depot.

i have checked buses that pass by:
MacRitchie Reservoir,
Ang Mo Kio Int/Central/MRT,
Bishan MRT,
Toa Payoh MRT (not int),
Bedok Int/MRT,
Kembangan Stn,
Buona Vista Ter,
Ghim Moh Ter,
Changi Village Ter,
Clementi Int.

14 & 21 does not have ET's.

166 has been checked and it only has ET's departing from Opp Peirce Sec Sch in the direction of Ang Mo Kio Temp Int. 166 (Clementi) reaches Clementi Int at 0658/0702/0658 hrs.

61 & 961 has no official data available as it is not from SBST. they used to have that data somewhere though, cos i managed to get last bus timings for Tibs buses for my bus stop last time, from a terminal i think (like last time SBS put the computer terminal for route enquiries in interchanges last time).
the rest, i have not checked.

note that it is always possible that some popular services do not have ET's, as SBST got around this all together by making the first trip from the origin start early, like 0515 or 0530hrs. for 21, the first trip will reach Pasir Ris Int at 0640/0657/0647 hrs. another example is 72 (yck). the first bus leaves tampines int at 0515hrs, thus eliminating the need for ET's. it reaches Yio Chu Kang Ter at 0609/0609/0639 hrs.

ways to spot ET's include:
- changes in timing
- changes in differences between wk/day & other timings
- predicting where ET's would start
- check last bus stop's timing

am tired so making tis short. be verifying and updating the rest tomorrow.

for svc 13, it's bingo! the timings (vs prev stop, still rd - flora east) are: 0545 (0551), 0551 (0549), 0551 (0550).

as for svc 154, it's not. the timing on weekdays (vs prev stop, c'wealth ave west - opp blk 329) is 0543 (0541). it is never surprising that svc 154 can do that within 45mins, considering that it is in the morning where the streets are empty, pax load is low and also first (but rarely second) buses usually do their trips faster for those early birds to get to work earlier.

added 3, 3, 21, 31. so sorry but didn't realise that svc 21 actually has ET's which i couldn't judge from the last bus stop timing, nor from the stops which i predicted could hold ET's. will do a more elaborate check again but for now, i'll jus post those that can be found generally first.

i am inclined to believe that 961 has an ET starting from at least everton park/spottiswoode park towards WRI as i used to see a 961 bus arrive at bus stop os pei hwa pri sch ard 620ish am

SMRT guide puts 1st dep time at Lor 1 Geylang (then Crawford St) as 0600. o am not inclined to think that it does the boon keng-beach rd-NBR-bt merah-queensway/farrer rd-bt timah stretch in 20 mins. the pax load is rather high as well (i have boarded one such trip at coronation plaza at 615_

Hmm error... Previous stop is PSR Int whereby daily timings are 0515 hrs. This explains the inconsistancy in the timings of this bus stop.

yes, noted & updated. anyway the last bus timing of svc 3 leaving pasir ris int is 0106hrs on all days. i suppose this is the latest timing for any basic bus svcs leaving any interchange/terminal in singapore. u noe of any later timing?

guarantee chop confirm latest.

The bus reaches TAM around 0135 hrs.

However, the bus tends to arrive earlier say 0100 hrs. I saw it once at PSR. No prizes for guessing how come i can be there at such an hour.

The last bus leaves Pasir Ris interchange at around 1.06am, reaches Tampines interchange at around 1.35am. (It is the same bus, right?) I'm puzzled: Why takes close to half an hour in this period of time?

3 winds like hell in both Pasir Ris & Tampines. From PSR Int to my place (Loyang Ave - Opp Blk 149A) there is 3/12/17/21 to choose from, and 3 is definately the slowest, can take around 15min or so (off peak).

Then from my place to Tampines Int there is 3/19/39/81, and 3 is the slowest, no contest at all, 15-20 min.

So taking about 30min at late night from PSR - TAM is quite logical.

But to me, 30 minutes at 1am plus is still unbelieveable. At most takes 15 to 20 minutes. Agree? Disagree?

Can be, because timesheets often give time allowances.

24 Jul 04, 15:27

the list is complete for most svcs, jus tat there may be some tat i may have missed cos i'm listing those with the most probability of having ET's.

if u still know of any other ET's, feel free to reply to this topic.

i'll put it up on sgWiki soon.

interestingly, svc 196 (clementi) actually has a trip starting from outside Shenton Way Ter, even on Sundays. now, i have actually seen tis once on 1st jan '04, a row of 3 svc 196 DDs parked opposite MAS bldg. sadly, the opposite direction has no ET's at all, and it ends the trip at Bedok well past 7am.
