Feeder buses for individual MRT stations have extended their hours to match with the last train.

But if you’re one who takes a trunk service (those buses that go from Mars to Jupiter) instead of a feeder bus to your house from your nearest MRT station, then you might want to check what feeder bus you should take first.

Because there are now four bus operators in Singapore, the first thing you’d need to know is to check which operator goes to your house, and from there, check the timings below.
