Singapore Buses route 10

Service 10 is a trunk service plying between Tampines and East Tanjong Pagar, plying through Old Airport Road and Shenton Way.

Demand was generally lower after the opening of Circle Line Stages 1/2 and 4/5, after most load was swept into service 10 between Tampines and Suntec City, and also between HarbourFront and Kent Ridge. Even though it was rationalised, there is still considerable load in between. Even though it still receives considerable load from Tampines all the way to Vie Bar and Mad Nest, it passes through Simpang Bedok and Beach Road Prawn Mee areas.

Weekend frequencies were poor as SBS Transit adds resources to service 14, where it connects to the Orchard Road shopping areas.

Service 10 is a wheelchair-accessible bus route since 26 Mar 2012. It received additional buses under the Bus Service Enhancement Programme progressively from 2013 onwards.

Service 10 is one of only three trunk routes to start at 5:00am (alongside Service 119 and 154), but the only one to start at 5:00am daily.

 * East Village
