Singapore Buses route 30

Service 30 is a trunk service that plies from Bedok all the way to Boon Lay via Changi Road, Tanjong Katong, Mountbatten, Telok Blangah, Pasir Panjang, West Coast, Teban Gardens and Corporation Drive, running from the east to the west in Singapore, one of the longest trunk services.

Since 1992, the route has been diverted via the East Coast Parkway instead of Nicoll Highway, which offers scenic views of the route. But because of the acceleration and deceleration on the expressway, this has been prone to falling, so Leyland Olympian 3-Axles were deployed on that route since 1994. With the opening of the MCE, the route has been diverted via the MCE, and it travels underground, no longer plying through the scenic road.

Despite its length, the last bus departs Boon Lay at about 12:20am. The trip reaches Bedok at about 1:30am to 2:00am, which is one of the last buses of the day to cater to the drunk passengers.
