The Railway Station Is A giant Advertisement - and I like it


Linkway at Bugis MRT station in Singapore.

I know three stations in Singapore with long linkways which need travelators to speed you on your way. Two are Promenade and Beauty World. The third is Bugis, above.

The advertising is inescapable. However, I like it. The tedium of the walk is enlivened by the unmissable advertising. The walls and floor are filled with colour. You learn something new. Unlike permanent installations, the ads change every week or so, so your journeys offer new experiences.
