Planning Tips for New Year's Eve

  1. Check crowd levels: Monitor the Crowd@MarinaBay and Crowd@Kallang maps from 7pm on 31 December for real-time crowd information and road closures.
  2. Head to stations early: Popular interchange stations like City Hall, Raffles Place, and Bayfront will be extremely crowded after the countdown. Consider leaving 15-30 minutes before midnight if you want to beat the rush.
  3. Know your last train: Save a screenshot of your last train timing - mobile data can be slow in crowded areas.
  4. Have a backup plan: Consider taxi/private hire alternatives if trains are too crowded.
