Bugis to Little India, free & easy

Staying in Bugis — a popular budget-hotel and street-shopping area in the city core? Here's the whole trip, door to gate: the train, where to sit tight, the exit, and the real walk.

The whole journey · ~6 min

From Bugis, take the Downtown Line 2 stops direct to Little Indiano change. Then Exit C and about a 1-min walk (0.0 km) to Little India.

Leg 1 — the train

DT Downtown Line no change ~5 min · 2 stops
  1. DT14 Bugis — board here
  2. DT13 Rochor
  3. DT12 Little India — alight here

Train time is an estimate (~2.5 min/stop incl. stops); trains run every 2–5 min, so add a short wait.

Leg 2 — the walk

The coral line is the real pedestrian path from Little India Exit C to Little India — not a straight line.

On Sunday evenings Little India fills with tens of thousands of migrant workers on their day off — the buzz is authentic but the pavements around Serangoon Road get shoulder-to-shoulder; come on a weekday morning if you want calm temple visits and an unhurried Tekka Centre breakfast.
