Local note
The bit the data can't tell you — the reason this page beats Google Maps.
Take Exit B and follow the underground linkway, then take the lift or stairs up and cross the Dragonfly Bridge (or Meadow Bridge) into the gardens — about a 13-minute walk. It's the route Gardens by the Bay itself recommends, and the sheltered linkway beats baking on the surface roads. Insider tip: if you're heading for the eastern gardens, the newer Gardens by the Bay MRT (TE22, Thomson–East Coast Line) Exit 1 can drop you closer than Bayfront.
