Public Bus Services
Since there are no MRT station in the vicinity, visitors to the zoo mainly rely on car, taxi, tour buses and local bus services.
There are 3 bus services (services 138, 926, 927) which stop outside the bus stop at Mandai Lake Road. These 3 bus services, if taken from the zoo, would ferry passengers to towns. These towns are Ang Mo Kio, Woodlands, and Choa Chu Kang. Once the bus services reach the last stop which is the town's respective bus interchange, they can transfer onto an MRT station which links the town to the rest of the country, making it easy to also travel to the city. An additional service service 171 connecting the Zoo to popular tourist spots such as Orchard Road and hotels such as the acclaimed Raffles Hotel, stops outside Mandai Road. People who want to take this service to the zoo, must alight at Mandai Road and walk down to Mandai Lake Road or transfer to services 138 or 927. Bus fares are about $1.20 SGD per trip (about US$1)

Famous quotes containing the words public, bus and/or services:
“It was a time of madness, the sort of mad-hysteria that always presages war. There seems to be nothing left but war—when any population in any sort of a nation gets violently angry, civilization falls down and religion forsakes its hold on the consciences of human kind in such times of public madness.”
—Rebecca Latimer Felton (1835–1930)
“It seemed a long way from 143rd Street. Shaking hands with the Queen of England was a long way from being forced to sit in the colored section of the bus going into downtown Wilmington, North Carolina. Dancing with the Duke of Devonshire was a long way from not being allowed to bowl in Jefferson City, Missouri, because the white customers complained about it.”
—Althea Gibson (b. 1927)
“True love ennobles and dignifies the material labors of life; and homely services rendered for love’s sake have in them a poetry that is immortal.”
—Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
