Getting up for work every day is already tough—spending extra time on a long commute doesn’t help.
Our coworking space has members from all over Singapore, including expats who have settled in different parts of the island. Everyone’s routine is different, but one thing is clear: having an office that’s easier to get to set the day up better.
A shorter commute isn’t just about convenience—it’s about not using up energy before the workday even starts. Long train rides and multiple bus transfers consume time better spent sleeping, eating breakfast, or clearing your mind.
CoWorkSpace is right next to Downtown MRT and close to Raffles Place MRT, so getting here is straightforward. Some common travel times:
-
Tampines West MRT to Downtown MRT – about 30-40 minutes, all on a single train ride.
-
Commonwealth MRT to Raffles Place MRT – around 20 minutes, no bus transfers.
-
Punggol MRT to Raffles Place MRT – about 35-40 minutes, with a simple transfer from the North-East Line to the North-South Line at Dhoby Ghaut.
No unnecessary transfers, no buses to change. Time the ride right, and you might even get a seat. When getting to the office isn’t a daily struggle, work feels like something to look forward to.
For Business Owners: A Few Things to Think About
-
Client meetings are a lot more convenient – When the office is in an excellent location, clients prefer meeting there. Saves the hassle of running around.
-
If there’s a work-from-home arrangement, staff are more willing to come in – The shift from WFH to the office feels smoother when the commute isn’t a headache.
-
If it’s a full in-office setup, there’s hope – When people spend less energy just getting to work, retention and productivity have a better chance of improving.
A Thought for Those With Gym Memberships
When was the last time you visited the gym?
CoWorkSpace shares the same building with MAX OUT Fitness Raffles, so if you’ve been meaning to get back into a routine, this could be the perfect way to streamline your mornings.
Get a workout in before work, or hit the gym after wrapping up for the day—either way, it’s one less excuse.
Having an office that’s easy to reach changes how the day begins—not just for you, but for the people you work with too.
