Service 405 in 2026: Deepavali and All Souls’ Day cemetery-trip dates and checks
For a family visiting the Choa Chu Kang area around Deepavali or All Souls’ Day, Service 405 is a special-date service—not an everyday option. Confirm the date first, keep the trip within its 7am–5pm operating window, then recheck the route and signs on the day.
Four checks before a family trip
- Confirm that today is one of the four official operating dates; do not treat 405 as available on another day.
- Plan arrival, visiting and return within the 7am–5pm operating window, with a buffer before the last bus.
- The poster says the route changed after Lim Chu Kang Road closed. On the day, use SMRT/LTA information, a current map and on-site signs—not an old route screenshot.
- For older relatives, young children or mobility needs, agree a meeting point, bring water and sun/rain cover, and set a fallback return plan. A seat or immediate assistance is not guaranteed.
Useful boundaries
- 22–30 minutes is a published frequency, not a precise-arrival promise.
- A special-service date does not guarantee unchanged cemetery, columbarium, road, parking or visiting arrangements.
- Weather, traffic controls and crowds can change the experience. Follow operator, venue-management and on-site updates on the day.
