Timing it on a concert night
- Allow about 62 minutes from HarbourFront & Sentosa — the routed 17 minutes plus a buffer for platform crowds, the walk from the station and the bag check at the gate.
- Promenade MRT (Circle and Downtown lines) connects underground; Esplanade and City Hall are a covered walk through Suntec City. Follow signs to the specific hall or ballroom named on your ticket — the complex is large.
- Three stations within a covered walk means the crowd splits three ways and nothing jams. The Marina Bay waterfront and Esplanade are a pleasant ten-minute walk if you want to keep the evening going.
