Public Transport Arrangement

As the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2025 takes place on a street circuit, heavy traffic is anticipated around the Circuit Park. During race days from September 20 to 22, train services will be extended, with City Hall MRT station remaining operational until 12:30 AM on September 20 and 21, and until 12:45 AM on September 22. This makes public transport the easiest and most reliable way to get around the city during the event.

When planning your route to the grandstand, consider the nearest gate and your chosen mode of transport—whether it’s MRT, shuttle bus, taxi, or private hire car. Most gates are within walking distance of an MRT station, and your ticket will indicate the recommended gates. Allow extra time for your journey to the Marina Bay Street Circuit.
