What to do

Check whether your bus number is in the affected list.
If you planned to alight at 02051, replan around the next stop, The Esplanade 02061.
Saved maps may retain the old stop. Recheck LTA Journey Planner and operator arrivals before departure.
02061 is not merely a renamed stop: budget for crossings, walking, weather and group pace.

Watch-outs

The notice confirms one skipped stop; it does not mean all Marina Bay roads close from 4 August.
Wider race-day road and bus arrangements for 9-11 Oct require separate official notices.
National Day Stadium changes are a different event; do not mix stop 02051/02061 with Kallang Stadium closures.
