Cool new app by the prolific Muh Hon Cheng. Use SG Trains to find out:
- How long it takes to get to your destination
- Which route is fastest (if more than one route is available)
- Get schedules so that you don't miss the last train
Changing at City Hall is obviously the smart option here.
You can set the app to use your current location as the starting point (it defaults to the closest MRT station to you) or manually set your own starting point. As you travel on the MRT, the app will update the time needed to get to the destination based on your location.
The only issue is that the iPhone can't always tell where you are. I was in the train in Changi Airport and SG Trains thought the closest station to me was Eunos. I checked Google Maps and indeed, Google Maps placed me in the Eunos vicinity too. This is a minor problem as I imagine you probably have a fairly good idea where you are most of the time.
SG Trains is available on the App Store for US$1.99
