Singapore's SBS Transit said on Tuesday that a total of 24 bus services will be temporarily diverted from Sunday due to road closures for the Countdown celebrations.
In a press release, the authorities said the service numbers 99, 240 and 246 will skip bus stops along Boon Lay Drive, Boon Lay Place and Corporation Road from 6 pm until 1 am on New Year's Day. The authorities said that this move has been taken to accommodate the 2018 Boon Lay Countdown.

The media release added that these services will not stop along Bayfront Avenue, Collyer Quay, Connaught Drive, Marina Boulevard, Parliament Place, Raffles Avenue and Temasek Avenue from 4 pm on New Year's Eve up to 2 am on Jan 1.
In addition to these, six Nite Owl services, including 1N, 2N, 3N, 4N, 5N and 6N, will also be diverted on Sunday evening from midnight to 2 am.
