Where does SBS Transit Bus Service 374 go, and what interesting places can you visit? Service 374 is a Sengkang neighbourhood loop through Anchorvale and the hockey-stadium corridor towards Thanggam LRT, then back to the town centre. It can support a planned swim, an Anchorvale food outing or a separately mapped visit to Sengkang Riverside Park. Source: SBS Transit intermediate route information.
Important change effective Saturday, 31 October 2026: Service 374 returns to Sengkang Bus Interchange. SBS Transit’s dated notice says the service resumes its original route and no longer calls at the temporary Sengkang Square stop 67689. Its accompanying boarding poster assigns 374 to Berth B2. Use this current arrangement rather than an older Compassvale departure instruction. Official change notice · Official berth poster, first page.
This Bus Guide separates the revised boarding arrangement from the places worth visiting along the route. For readers coming from Punggol, first plan a connection to Sengkang: 374 is not a departure from either Punggol interchange. Choose a specific destination, check the final walk and keep a clear route home.
Read this before following an old route map
| Question | Arrangement from 31 October 2026 | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Where does the service depart? | Sengkang Bus Interchange | Do not follow the earlier temporary Compassvale-origin instruction. |
| Which boarding berth? | B2 | Confirm the current signs and departure display. |
| Does it still use temporary stop 67689? | No | Do not wait there for 374 based on an old screenshot. |
The table summarises the dated SBS announcement and its boarding map. It reports the operator’s announced arrangement, not an on-site observation by the author.
During this check, the generic service page still displayed a Compassvale heading and the temporary stop. That is a meaningful conflict, not a reason to combine the two arrangements. This guide uses the dated change notice for the terminal and removed stop, while using the route table for the neighbourhood section. Confirm live signs for subsequent changes.
For the same reason, this article does not copy the old Compassvale-labelled first and last departure times and present them as newly verified Sengkang timings. Use the current interchange display or operator journey information for a time-critical departure.
Useful stops around Anchorvale and Thanggam
| Area or purpose | Selected stop codes | Last-mile decision |
|---|---|---|
| Anchorvale Crescent | 67699 Blk 334A outward; 67691 Blk 338A returning | Choose the actual block or Anchorvale Village entrance. |
| Anchorvale Road | 67769 Blk 326D outward; 67761 Opp Blk 326D returning | Map the pedestrian approach to the intended address. |
| Sports precinct | 67549 Opp Hockey Stadium outward; 67541 Hockey Stadium returning | The pool or sports entrance is a separate destination. |
| Fernvale Street approach | 67701 Aft Blk 467B | Check the exact park or neighbourhood entrance before walking. |
| Thanggam LRT | 67741 Thanggam Stn Exit B | A rail connection and local address, not Fernvale LRT. |
| Town-centre return | 67441 Sengkang Community Hub, then the restored interchange routing | Do not use the obsolete temporary-stop instruction. |
Selected intermediate codes come from the SBS Service 374 table, interpreted alongside the dated restoration notice. They identify bus shelters, not guaranteed accessible doors or zero-minute walks.
Anchorvale Village: a food destination with a precise address
NEA’s hawker-centre dataset identifies Anchorvale Village Hawker Centre at 339 Anchorvale Road, on Level 2 of Anchorvale Village, with 36 cooked-food stalls. The same dataset records cleaning closures, which should be checked before a special food trip. Source: NEA’s official hawker-centre data.
For Bus 374, treat the Anchorvale Crescent stops in the table as reference points to compare with the building’s actual entrance. They do not establish a universal nearest stop for every traveller. A person needing a lift and a suitable crossing may choose a different walking approach from someone who can use all public paths comfortably.
A manageable outing can simply be a meal. Decide on a budget and any dietary needs before travelling, then inspect the available options on arrival. Do not promise a particular stall, queue length or dish without checking the business’s current information.
For a family learning about everyday neighbourhood life, observe how the hawker centre connects with nearby homes and transport. A useful question is why a food stop can be valuable to residents even when it is not a major tourist attraction. Keep observations grounded in what the family actually sees.
Do not make an outdoor activity compulsory after lunch. A riverside walk or sports session requires another set of checks. The meal can be the complete outing, with enough energy left to locate the correct return shelter.
Sengkang Swimming Complex: check the day before packing the towels
ActiveSG locates Sengkang Swimming Complex at 57 Anchorvale Road. Its usual maintenance closure is Monday, with a stated public-holiday exception. The official page also identifies feature-pool admission requirements and different minimum heights for its slides. Do not assume that every child can use every feature or that a normal-pool pass is the correct ticket. Source: ActiveSG facility information.
The hockey-stadium stop pair provides a useful sports-precinct reference. It is not a promise that the swimming entrance begins at the bus shelter. Map the approach to 57 Anchorvale Road, identify a legal crossing and allow time to find the correct entrance.
A swimming plan has several separate parts: facility availability, admission, appropriate supervision, changing time and transport home. Check them before leaving. A bus running normally does not establish that a pool is open, and an open swimming complex does not establish that every feature is operating.
For younger children, decide on a realistic finish before the outing starts. Leave time to change and find the return stop without rushing. An optional meal can remain optional; the main objective is a comfortable session and a manageable journey back.
If the intended activity is unavailable, do not force a replacement that has not been checked. A shorter neighbourhood outing or a return home may be the better choice. A useful backup plan reduces pressure rather than doubling the amount of travel.
Sengkang Riverside Park: choose a plot before choosing a bus stop
NParks describes Sengkang Riverside Park as a 21.3-hectare park with three plots: Visitor, Mangrove and Civic. Its official access guidance names Kupang LRT for the Visitor or Mangrove plots and Farmway LRT for the Civic plot. It also identifies an accessibility exception: the pond areas are not wheelchair-accessible. Fishing is not permitted. Source: NParks park guide.
Those distinctions matter more than a general claim that Bus 374 “goes to the park.” The service passes neighbourhood roads from which a park visit can be planned, but the desired park section determines the final walk. A stop convenient for one plot may be inconvenient for another.
Begin with the official park map. Select a short route that fits the group, then compare a bus approach with the LRT access recommended by NParks. Do not transfer a walking estimate from a railway station to a bus stop on a different road.
A suggested nature activity is to choose a safe public viewpoint and spend time observing rather than trying to cover the whole park. Write down one plant feature, one animal seen from a distance and one question to investigate later. A quiet visit can be worthwhile even without a dramatic wildlife sighting.
For anyone using a wheelchair or mobility aid, include the crossing and park entrance in the accessibility check. A generally accessible park can still contain unsuitable sections. Choose an appropriate route before arriving at a barrier or narrow path.
Keep weather and energy in the plan. Set a turning point, carry what the group needs and leave an indoor alternative available. Do not turn an enjoyable local walk into an obligation to reach a distant bridge or finish every path shown on a map.
Thanggam: a connection, not a substitute name for Fernvale
The loop’s named rail connection is Thanggam Stn Exit B. The bus travels through streets carrying the Fernvale name, but that does not turn its Thanggam stop into Fernvale LRT or a direct mall entrance. Use the actual station and stop names in the operator’s list. Source: Service 374 stopping sequence.
For a visit to a relative, ask for the full address and preferred public entrance. For a neighbourhood business, verify its current location. A district name is a useful starting point, but not a complete instruction for alighting.
If the destination is reachable more comfortably by LRT, compare that option rather than insisting on the bus. A guide should help the traveller choose, not persuade everyone to use one route regardless of circumstances.
This part of the journey can also be useful for supported travel practice. An adult can ask a child to identify the station code, bus stop and next part of the journey. Keep responsibility for road crossings and boarding with the adult, and stop to clarify confusion rather than rushing ahead.
Appointments and public services along the corridor
The route table also names the Sengkang General Hospital corridor and Sengkang Community Hub. These can be important destinations, but they are not leisure attractions. A visitor should work from the appointment or service address and then choose the appropriate stop.
Check the building, floor, registration instructions and required arrival time independently of the bus route. A shelter carrying a hospital’s name does not establish which clinic entrance to use. A community building being open does not establish that every office inside accepts walk-ins.
For a relative who may be tired after an appointment, plan the easier return in advance. Count the crossings and exposed walking sections, not only the number of stops. Any shopping or meal afterwards should remain optional.
Worked example: the old screenshot sends you to the wrong place
Illustrative situation: a family saves a route screenshot during the temporary relocation period. On a later outing, they follow it to the old boarding arrangement without checking the effective date of the restoration notice.
The first repair is to establish which information applies to the travel date. An old screenshot can be a faithful record of an earlier arrangement and still be wrong for the present trip. Use the dated operator notice and current signs to locate the restored departure point.
Do not assume the absence of a bus means only that it is late. When a stop has been removed from a route, waiting longer will not solve the underlying problem. Check whether the service still calls there before relying on a predicted arrival.
Once at the correct boarding area, return to the destination plan: intended alighting code, final walk and venue access. Fixing the origin is necessary, but does not verify the rest of the journey automatically.
For the next outing, save the date together with the route information. This is a useful habit for any transport network undergoing changes. A screenshot without a date can outlive the arrangement it describes.
Choose one main activity and one fallback
A swim, a riverside walk and a hawker meal are three different plans. Each has its own entrance, operating conditions and amount of walking. Combining all three is optional; it is not required to make the bus journey worthwhile.
For a young family, select the main activity first. Add a fallback that is genuinely easier if the original plan fails. A nearby meal may be a sensible fallback for unsuitable outdoor weather; another unverified outdoor destination would not solve that problem.
For an older traveller, prioritise the comfortable path and a known place to rest. For a student practising public transport, prioritise a short route that can be explained correctly. The same service can support different outings without requiring one universal itinerary.
A planned swimming visit
Check the pool’s current status and correct admission first. Travel from the restored Sengkang boarding point, use an appropriate sports-precinct stop, and follow the verified route to the pool entrance. Allow time for changing and the return crossing.
Anchorvale food and a short neighbourhood walk
Choose the hawker centre as the main destination, confirm that no cleaning closure affects the visit and compare the walk from the Anchorvale stops. Keep any additional walk short enough that the group can return comfortably.
One part of Sengkang Riverside Park
Select the park plot and appropriate path before choosing transport. Compare the bus approach with the relevant LRT connection, then carry out a modest nature-observation activity. Shorten the outing if the route or weather no longer suits the group.
Frequently asked questions
Where should I board from 31 October 2026?
Use Sengkang Bus Interchange and the B2 arrangement in the dated official poster, checking for any subsequent on-site changes.
Why does an online page still say Compassvale?
The generic page retrieved during this check retained the earlier temporary arrangement. This guide identifies that conflict rather than presenting both origins as simultaneously current.
Can I still use the temporary Sengkang Square stop?
Not for 374 under the announced restoration: the dated notice explicitly removes its call at 67689.
Does 374 depart from Punggol?
No. A reader starting in Punggol needs a separate connection to a suitable Sengkang boarding point. The service described here is the Sengkang–Thanggam neighbourhood loop.
Is the hockey-stadium stop the swimming-pool entrance?
Do not assume so. Use it as a sports-precinct reference and map the actual entrance at the pool’s address.
Can I visit the pool on any day?
Check ActiveSG first. The usual Monday maintenance closure, holiday exception and temporary notices affect the plan.
Does one stop serve all of Sengkang Riverside Park?
No single approach should be assumed best for every plot. Choose the park section and verify the last-mile route; NParks gives different LRT approaches for different plots.
Is Thanggam the same station as Fernvale?
No. Read the station name in the stop list rather than substituting a nearby street or district name.
Where should I check the last departure?
Use the current Sengkang departure information and the actual intermediate stop’s live arrivals. Do not copy a time carrying the old terminal label without verifying the updated arrangement.
