The Singapore Grand Prix takes place in the heart of Marina Bay—a location known for its stunning skyline and walkable city layout. Fortunately, getting to the circuit is straightforward thanks to Singapore’s efficient public transport system, ride-hailing options, and pedestrian-friendly planning. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the best ways to reach the track and navigate the city during race weekend.

MRT: the most efficient option

Without a doubt, the best and easiest way to get to the Singapore Grand Prix is the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system.

There are multiple MRT stations within walking distance of the circuit:

  • Esplanade
  • City Hall
  • Nicoll Highway
  • Stadium
  • Promenade

Generally, trains operate every 5 to 6 minutes on race nights, and services are frequently extended past midnight to cater to the large crowds.

You can use contactless credit cards or buy a Singapore Tourist Pass, which allows unlimited travel for 1 to 3 days.

Pro tip: Your ticket will usually indicate the nearest MRT station to your gate—make sure to verify this before planning your route.

Buses: a solid alternative

Though some roads close for the Grand Prix, buses remain a reliable backup, particularly if you’re staying outside the city center. If you want to avoid the packed MRT after the race, a bus might be a more relaxed option—just make sure to check for any route changes on race days.

Walking: perfect for nearby hotels

If your accommodation is located near the circuit—around areas like Marina Bay, City Hall, or Raffles Placewalking may be your most efficient mode of transport.

Most major hotels are just 5 to 15 minutes from the track. Walking lets you skip the lines, beat the crowds, and take in the city as you approach the circuit.

Just remember, even at night, Singapore can be hot and humid. Wear light, breathable clothing and stay hydrated.

Taxis and ride-hailing apps

Taxis and private hire services like Grab or ComfortDelGro are convenient, but they can be affected by road closures and traffic congestion caused by the race.

If you choose this option:

  • Schedule your ride in advance
  • Expect surge pricing during peak periods
  • Know your drop-off zone, as direct access to the circuit is restricted

Typical downtown fares range from S$6 to S$16, with additional charges applied during special events.

Circuit shuttle services

Shuttle services are often operated by race organizers between key MRT stations and specific circuit entrances. They’re a good option if you want to reduce walking distance while still using public transportation.

Taxi drop-off and ride-hailing pickup points are also marked around the circuit—check the official map or the GP app for exact locations.

Use the Singapore GP app

The Singapore GP mobile app is an excellent tool during the event. It includes:

  • Interactive circuit maps
  • Gate and entrance information
  • Public transport directions
  • Real-time updates on race and travel info

Download the app ahead of time to plan your route and stay informed throughout the weekend.

Tips for race weekend travel

  • Check which MRT station is closest to your grandstand—this is often printed on your ticket
  • Avoid bringing large bags—security checks will slow you down
  • Use contactless or pre-paid cards for smoother access to public transport
  • Plan for delays after the race—everyone exits at the same time
  • Arrive early—walking paths and trains get busier as race time approaches
