The Green Corridor

I just had to write a post about it. Since its reopening, I use it at least ten times weekly to get to where I need to go. There is something quite special about the corridor; I don’t just mean the lack of cars or traffic lights.

In a densely populated city-state, with excellent transport links and busy roads, it is quite literally a breath of fresh air. The Green Corridor offers a unique escape. If you time it right, you will be treated to a quiet and peaceful experience, with lots of greenery and birdsong for company along the way. I was even treated to a romp of otters one morning when cycling to work. Quite the rare sighting!

The Green Corridor runs from Kranji to Tanjong Pagar and is 24km long. Notable points along the way include Singapore Quarry, Bukit Timah Truss Bridge and Clementi Forest. Recently, at the Bukit Timah Railway section, they have opened a new cafe and museum that details its history.

The Green Corridor is strategically located, passing through many different areas of Singapore, making it well-connected. If you decide to walk the length of it one day and don’t fancy walking the same distance back, you will end at VivoCity and can easily hop on a train or bus to get you back to where you came from.

As with any attraction in Singapore, timing is key when visiting the Green Corridor. Avoid weekends and public holidays if you want to enjoy a secluded and quiet experience!
