Singapore Buses route 36

Service 36 is a loop service between Changi Airport and Tomlinson Road, passing through Marine Parade, Suntec City and Orchard, with express sectors along the East Coast Parkway (ECP). It is also the only bus route to terminate at Changi Airport and runs along Tomlinson Road just for their Christmas periods.

Much of its demand comes from within the city alone. Because of its relatively long route and city sectors, this service is prone to delays and bus bunching. As a direct route between Marine Parade and Suntec/Orchard, this service encounters good demand throughout the day, especially during peak periods and weekends.

Service 36 is currently the only route to terminate at Changi Airport after the other services were converted to loop at Changi Airport. While SBS Transit operates a driver’s office at Terminal 2 Basement, passengers wishing to continue their journey after Terminal 2 can stay onboard the bus while another driver takes over. This is a common practice for Service 36 known as jumpbus, where bus drivers rotate themselves between buses and do not stick to a permanent bus for the day.

From Changi Airport, Service 36 is the only route that connects to the City. As such, it provides an alternative to commuters apart from the East-West Line. At Marine Parade, it provides the fastest connection to Suntec City and Raffles Avenue. An alternative route to Dhoby Ghaut and Orchard Road is Service 16.

This service skips the pair of bus stop outside SATS Inflight Catering Centre in both directions. It also calls at the only bus stop along the ECP (Aft E.C. Sea Sports Club), within Carpark F3 of East Coast Park.
