By Train

The new Holland Village MRT station (opens October 2011) brings you right inside Holland Village.

Holland Village is sandwiched between 2 other MRT stations, Commonwealth and Buona Vista, which are also within a 6-minute walk to the Village. You can, therefore, access Holland Village on the Green East-West Line and also on the Orange Circle Line on the MRT map.

Here are the directions if you happen to come by any of these two stations instead of the Holland Village MRT station:

If you alight at Commonwealth MRT station:

1. Get out of the station from your left
2. Head toward the nearest bus stop
3. Take bus number 970
4. Alight at the second stop (bus stop D) and walk with the traffic flow towards Holland Village, which is about 200 steps away.

Or you can walk the entire route from the train station in about 6 minutes.

If you alight at Buona Vista MRT station:

1. Ride the escalator down to the ground level and exit the station from your left
2. Walk past the pedestrian tunnel you see in front of you and climb up the flight of steps on your right.
3. Turn right when you reach the top of the flight of steps and walk towards the traffic junction.
4. Cross the junction by walking toward a brick coloured block of low-rise apartments – Block 43.
5. Continue to walk ahead and walk past the apartments (you will notice a coffee shop below the apartment block) until you see the road sign Holland Avenue, which is about 50 steps ahead of you.
6. Turn into Holland Avenue, which will lead you to the village in about 200 steps away.

Alternatively, you may take Bus 200 at the bus stop along North Bouna Vista Road. When you come down from the train station’s escalator, make a right turn and you will be able to see the bus stop. The ride is about a minute or two because you should be getting down on the third stop. This is at Block 46 (bus stop J in front of NTUC Supermarket) along Holland Drive. After alighting, ask someone which direction is Holland Village.

You can find out the time of the train service here.

MRT Hotline: 1800 3368 900 (07:30 am to 06:30 pm, Mondays to Fridays)

By Taxi

Queuing

Taxis are not allowed to stop and pick up any passenger who is near the vicinity of taxi stands, so queuing up at the stand is the way to go

Giving correct directions

Just hop onto one and tell the cab driver that you are going to Holland Village; then tell him exactly where you want to alight, for example, Lorong Mambong, Lorong Liput, Chip Bee Gardens, Holland Avenue or Jalan Merah Saga.

All these places are within walking distances of one another, so it is alright to alight at the Holland Avenue taxi stand, which is right in front of the Cold Storage Supermarket. Many refer to this as the Holland Village taxi stand.

However, if the driver doesn’t know where the taxi stand is, tell him it’s along Holland Avenue. (Note: some cab drivers may confuse this with the taxi stand at Cold Storage Jelita, which is along Holland Road, so make certain he knows which one you are referring to.)

Estimated fare

Usually, your fare from Orchard Boulevard (a so-called “non-restricted zone” since it is just outside the “restricted” town area) to Holland Village should be around $6, give or take 30%. But this depends on whether surcharges are applicable and whether you board the larger and more luxurious Chrysler taxi or a “normal” taxi (see Public Transportation Guide).

Getting back

Getting a cab home between 7pm and 9 pm from Holland Village is a breeze, as shown below, especially on weekdays. On Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, do expect longer queues between 5 and 7pm and after 10pm.

For the physically challenged

A number of cab companies such as SMRT and Comfort-CityCab operate taxis for wheelchair-bound commuters. Their drivers are aware of the needs of passengers who have special requirements. Ask the telephone operator about the availability of such a cab when you call to book.

Normal cabs

SMRT operates 20 “London Cabs”, which are equipped with ramps and are able to accommodate wheelchairs without the need for the passenger to be assisted. The rates and surcharges are similar to those charged to normal commuters. SMRT main line Tel 6555 8888.

Special booking

Comfort and CityCab charge a $45 flat fee for a one-way journey to any place in Singapore inclusive of all surcharges. However, there is a $12 surcharge after midnight. Comfort-CityCab main line Tel 6552 1111.
