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.
From Bugis, take the Downtown Line 2 stops direct to Little India — no change. Then Exit C and about a 1-min walk (0.0 km) to Little India.
Train time is an estimate (~2.5 min/stop incl. stops); trains run every 2–5 min, so add a short wait.
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.
