MRT Walking Map (2017)

The MRT Walking Map (2017) is a practical tool for getting around Singapore’s extensive rail network on foot. Unlike a standard route map, it helps you see which stations are close enough to walk between, which is genuinely useful given how densely connected the MRT is across the city.

MRT & Walkable Map (2017)

The MRT Walking Map was introduced in 2017 to help commuters work out the quickest way to travel between stations on foot. Rather than staring at a standard MRT map and guessing distances, this map shows you at a glance which stations are within reasonable walking range of each other. That means you can sometimes skip a transfer entirely and simply walk, which is often quicker and more direct.

Key Features of the MRT Walking Map

  • Station Proximity Information:

    The map shows distances in metres and estimated walking times between nearby stations. In the CBD, where stations can be surprisingly close together, such as City Hall and Raffles Place, or Orchard and Somerset, this detail is especially useful for deciding whether to board at all.

  • Scenic Walking Routes:

    The map is not purely about speed. It also highlights routes that take you past interesting parts of the city, so walking from Bugis to Little India or from Chinatown to Tanjong Pagar becomes a more enjoyable experience rather than just a commute.

  • Accessibility and Convenience:

    If you would rather walk a few minutes than change trains twice or pass through a crowded interchange during peak hours, this map helps you plan that alternative. It is a low-stress way to move between stations and can make your journey feel less rushed.

  • Practical for Day Trips

    The walking map is particularly handy when you are visiting several attractions in one area. Seeing which stations are within walking distance of each other lets you plan a logical route without needing to plot multiple separate train trips.

How to Use the MRT Walking Map

The map is straightforward to use. Zoom in on your starting station and destination, then check whether a walking route exists between the two. Where a path is available, the map shows how long the walk takes, which can help you decide whether to walk across, catch the next train, or change lines.

A practical example: instead of taking the train from Chinatown to Clarke Quay via Outram Park, the map can show you a direct walking route between the two stations.
