Frequently asked questions

How are Singapore commute times measured on this page?
Every HDB block is routed on public transport to four job anchors — Raffles Place, one-north, Jurong East and Changi Airport — at a weekday 8am using OneMap. Each town figure is the median across its blocks of the fastest single itinerary, including walking, waiting, riding, transfers and fare.
Which HDB town has the fastest commute to the CBD?
In the current snapshot, Downtown Core has the fastest median commute to Raffles Place at about 12 minutes by public transport.
Are these peak-hour times?
They reflect a weekday-morning (8am) departure, which is representative of the peak commute. Off-peak and late-night journeys differ, and driving changes the maths entirely.
