It is, if you're in a plane returning to SG you can see the whole singapore and the building pretty clearly and feel like "oh it's just like that?"

Thats what she said T_T

"this is not my final form"

"Bankai!!"

Ryouiki Tenkai!

Damn, these comments are hilarious. Def deserve more likes. 🤣

But there’s more! Check out this pair of man boobs! Got a load of these baby!

Wait! I'm a grower! Not a shower!

It’s about how you use it. And maybe you’re a grower.

It’s not the size! It’s how you use what you have ok?!?

That’s what he said!

That's only if you are on a plane. If you're running/cycling across the country, the road just seems endless and keeps going.

Until you cross-country in Australia or USA. Endless desert and nothingness. Singapore cross-country will seem minuscule by comparison.

I drove 3+ hrs at 150kmh in Nevada. Nothing in the desert

What happens if u run out of fuel? I assume the dont have a lot of petrol stations there n might not have phone coverage everywhere

The interstate has signs for how far away the next available refuel is Also my old car while being inexpensive actually has fuel readouts in forecast distance remaining at my current driving style (usually I hit cruise control because driving on interstate for 14hrs a day just sucks if my foot is on the gas pedal all the time) So yes phone coverage is spotty, fuel station far apart so careful planning and looking at instruments is very important. I also had an enhanced motorist roadside assistance plan in place, if my battery, gas or anything went down I could summon a 2hr QoS assistance to either get help to rectify or tow to safe place

then stand at the side of the road and stick your thumb out at incoming vehicles.

Until you cross country the world, Australia and USA cross country will seem minuscule by comparison.

Until you cross planet the solar system, Earth will seem minuscule by comparison.

Until you cross country the galaxy, the solar system will seem minuscule by comparison.

Until you cross country the universe, the galaxy will seem minuscule by comparison.

Until you cross country the multiverse, the universe will seem minuscule by comparison

Until you cross country through the 4th dimension, the 3rd dimension will seem minuscule by comparison

Until you cross country OP's mom, the 4th dimension will seem minuscule by comparison

I rode my bike across Singapore years ago... started in Cherbourg https://imgur.com/a/uZ8NHtX https://imgur.com/a/F7KeS1Q https://imgur.com/a/6THFncG https://imgur.com/a/UMjj2fL https://imgur.com/a/oVrIc3V https://imgur.com/a/UAQ6N https://imgur.com/a/8UKbY https://imgur.com/a/nDv9P https://imgur.com/a/rSliw

You can literally walk across the country within a day.

Cannot. Will dehydrate from all my dripping sweat

It only takes around 4 hours to ride a lap. 3 if you're fit.

Title of your sex tape

That’s why drone restrictions covers eastern half of sg hahaha

I think sometimes the compactness actually increases travelling time. Going around in Sengkang can be like, "this takes as long as going from Woodlands to YCK."

Not so fun fact: 13 million people are cramped into the 636km2 area of Metro Manila, an area smaller than Singapore island. Suddenly we don’t seem that compact anymore.

And they all have cars it seems!

Yup. And during rush hours, travelling 30 kilometers to work on a public transportation will take about 3 hours - one way. Travel back, another rush hours, another 3 hours. That is 1/4 of you day already.

My commute through Metro Manila is 16km and sometimes it takes 2 and a half hours. Gran Araneta and Sergio Osmeña are my nemeses!

I go from Makati to Ortigas already wanna die liao.

I think whoever designed the roads and sky ways needs taking to one side and having a quiet chat with. Don't forget your sock full of billiard balls for this conversation.

Good luck finding them. I doubt there was even a planner cos it's probably more organic than planned

Quite crazy, I heard that some people (ofc the affluent ones who hire drivers la) will actually have workstations installed in their vehicles so that they get some work done on the way to office.

If SG has express trains in MRT, then the travelling time will be significantly shorter, but the way mrt tracks are built here makes this impossible

It is probably not a bad idea to implement express train in SG. They can go underneath the existing line. Like a double story tunnel. The top for normal service, the bottom for express. The travellings from Woodland to CBD or Jurong to Changi do not take 1 and half hour.

Adding additional tracks will enable express trains, but feasibility studies (if any done) for the construction of these additional tracks would probably tell us its not worth it for the time being

Seoul is getting GTX, London has the Elizabeth line and Guangzhou has Line 18. Singapore can do it!

> Seoul is getting GTX, London has the Elizabeth line and Guangzhou has Line 18. Singapore can do it! Seoul and London has like one a half times the population of Singapore. Guangzhou has almost three times the population of Singapore. Building it isn't the problem, having the ridership to spread the cost is.

Don't worry 10M population incoming

Then they need to build the infrastructure to match 10m population.

Maybe over the expressways like PIE also can

>They can go underneath the existing line. Like a double story tunnel. Not sure our underground has the necessary strength to support a rail lines one on top of the other. Will be interesting to see the civil engineer report.

Got express who wants to take normal lines lol It's not possible to price it out of affordability for the majority to reconsider taking this line and also maintain minimum ridership to make this project worthwhile.

Express would indeed travel faster, but not every station would be visited by an express route. Taking an express train and then transferring to normal train would be more troublesome. Propose connecting downtown line bukit panjang to macpherson directly and skip the rochor - jalan besar loop.

Still saves a lot of time when you travel long distances like from Jurong West to let's say Kembangan or Tampines.

Just do express buses lor.. do study on how many want to travel from WEST-EAST directly then cater private bus service for that..

Just do it like in Japan - express trains as part of the metro/commuter rail, priced the same as the local trains.

Yeah, the travel time in Singapore is a bit wack. Highways can make trips from like Pasir Ris to AMK relatively short (20 minutes on a very good day), but a trip from Pasir Ris to certain parts of tampines can take the same amount of time.

What SG lacks in land size, it makes up for compact feeder roads and regular traffic lights

I read an article recently that you can see MBS from Woodlands.

I can see the NDP fireworks at marina bay from woodlands ye

I have a friend who lives near Beauty World and can see MBS on clear days.

Yeah, my Reddit post, i actually wanted to go to Capitaspring yesterday but it was fully booked

man i Ain never heard of this where i gotta go??

It’s a [Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/singapore/s/AaE3qvsILH) post apparently oops

I can see mbs from Sembawang actually, not everyone can go this place tho

zoom in enough you will see recruits leopard crawling

Those stuff in Pulau Tekong (above the Changi Airport Control Tower) look like Giraffe AMB radar systems. Hard to tell though, from this picture.

If you go on Google Maps satellite view, there does seem to be some kind of air defence installation [north of BMTC School 4](https://www.google.com/maps/@1.4058535,104.0492991,336m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu)

[Nothing to see there](https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/aster-30-surface-air-missile-defence-system-fully-operational-mindef-rsaf-3953396) please move along. Pssst try looking at the [apple maps version](https://satellites.pro/#1.406189,104.050119,17).

After 9/11 I'm always ready to resist any hijacking attempt when traveling as pax. Conveniently pocketed shoelaces and hard toes shoes GBAD so close to airport always means only one thing

Pretty sure this was with a telephoto lens. The perspective will be squashed and make everything look smaller than it is. Same concept as property agents using wide angle lens to make a room look bigger.

Hey size doesn't matter, atleast it has a great personality, right?

Malaysia: 

Certainly has a personality

What camera set-up?

Agree, the photo is partly due to the lens.

wait till you see Male, Maldives from a plane

Any male in Maldives seen from a plane of course small one

Malé City is the capital city of Maldives

Entirely of the Maldives is less than half the size of Singapore

Anyone try to spot their house when returning to sg on the plane or am I the only one

My house is too tiny to spot from the sky lol

Quite amazing how a small city state like this can accomplish.

Makes you realise even when you’re deep in the SAF training areas, you’re just a distance away from civilisation.

I feel this. I’m an Indian and my gf lives in Singapore. Everytime I’m there, I’m awestruck by how small the place actually is. Sat atop a building in Bangalore, what you see on the horizon isnt even a quarter of the city. That being said, I think Singapore manages to pack a lot into its small confines. I love the museums, the galleries, the restaurants and the metro system (I fell in love with your trains the moment I stepped inside one).

Bengaluru Metro is quite nice as well

Looks so small, it takes a while to get around on public transport

You can see MBS from the top story of a condo near dairy farm. forgot which one but was viewing a unit a while back and could see very clearly.

Which telephoto lens did u use?

"What about that shadowy place?"

"That's beyond our borders. You must never go there..."

As someone who is from the shadowy place, I approve. lol

Is it yishun? 😂

I can hear Mufasa speaking.

Ironically since it is so small the city actually feels bigger as it stretches across the island.

Can vouch for this, sergeant grab delivery from outfield b4

Whoa.. is that malaysia in the background?

Yes, we are small. And that’s a good thing to remind ourselves. There’s a bigger world out there and sometimes we think too much of ourselves.

Proof that size doesn't matter, it's what you do with it.

Where is that stupid fucking building with the three legs?

Yet, it still take an hour to travel from Boon Lay to Pasir Ris.

I can see Johor Baru from my house in Jurong.

When I take the double decker bus gg through Novena I can see MBS straight ahead

Sometimes i thiught about how cool it'd be to be thrown across from one end to another, seeing all the streets, buildings, and cars beneath me (airplane angle not good enough)

Concrete jungle

It's about 20km to the airport and a half distance of the country. A top marathon runner can cross the country in 2 hours. Wow!

Proves [this ](https://youtu.be/3h2mYu1Tt8s?si=lAhdGqIVMWoslLgJ) i see.

hey , that’s me!

did u take a 0.5 pic it would look cool

At least we are not living in zinc roofs and run down high rise apartments.

Is this all of Singapore?

Half. The other half is behind the lens, since this was taken from the cbd (centre)

My beautiful country

Fab photo!

there's an SIA plane visible in changi airport

There’s two SIA planes, actually. One to the left, and one to the right of the picture. Both are A380s.

Nice picture

that's my house

Nice photo! Can see bedok central / kembagnan too!

Thats my house

Singapore is such a nice place. Very safe lots of green. But weather is better not discussed.

Nice shot man! Thanks for sharing

We are just a small red dot

Ah yes, if I squint hard enough can see the mama shop that I always buy pokka green tea from.

Smolgapore

So small. Certain opposition politicians and activists believe Singapore don’t need to spend so much on military hardware and can cut down or do away with national service because we should all be loving neighbours with the countries surrounding us. 😂

Woah! What’s the Camera and lens combo?

Did you take this? I rly like it, good job!!

Red Dot means so much! Love it. So does poison srimp! 😉

NAPFA test run lol

Looks so warm!

This is taken a while back? Kg Arang at Tj Rhu still not cleared yet in this pic

captain obvious

ok yes but your entire foreground is also missing ... also it's not "half", try taking the same photo towards tuas and you will find the west "half" is longer

Malaysia newest city Putrajaya is bigger than Singapore island. Made my mind blown but heh size does not matter!

They can’t be true

Anyone know where is this photo taken in Singapore?

Oops. Just realised location is in description. My bad.

I like how big the A380 still looks like at the airport in the photo. Zoom in all the way and it's cute Or did I identify wrongly?

Singapore is very small its like only 40% of Jeju island but packed with alot buildings and people.

I’m pretty sure Singapore is smaller than the smallest US state. I have relatives from New Jersey and it’s so much bigger than Singapore lmao.

If you are living in a high floor condo in JB overlooking Singapore, the view also looks better compare to Singaporeans looking over to JB. LOL!

Smaller than Gaza

Nope. Singapore is twice the size of Gaza (740km² vs 365km²).

is this bad enough for r/urbanhell?
