CapitaLand launches a complimentary night and home shuttle service linking the newly revitalized CQ @ Clarke Quay entertainment district with central city hubs and residential neighborhoods, offering late-night revelers convenient, cost-free transportation and encouraging exploration of the vibrant precinct.
For those looking to trade their weekend doomscrolling for urban adventure, a new transportation solution eliminates the perennial excuses of distance and cost. CapitaLand has introduced the CQ Night Shuttle, a free, reliable service designed to connect residents and visitors to the rejuvenated CQ @ Clarke Quay area—formerly known as Clarke Quay—and ensure a safe, affordable trip home. Following a significant revamp of the lifestyle hub, the shuttle service aims to boost late-night activity and accessibility across Singapore’s nightlife circuit.
The CQ Night Shuttle operates two critical services: a late-night loop connecting major downtown spots to the venue and dedicated one-way routes ensuring patrons can return to select residential areas.
Seamless Transportation After Hours
The primary CQ Night Shuttle provides continual pick-ups and drop-offs between CQ @ Clarke Quay and several key city locations, running nightly from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. This complimentary loop covers vital transport and retail nodes, including Somerset MRT, Ion Orchard, Ascott Orchard, Plaza Singapura, and Raffles City. By circumventing the need for expensive late-night taxi fares, the service extends the possibilities for an evening out, allowing patrons to enjoy the area’s dining and entertainment without concern for cutoff times or travel expenses.
The vehicle used for the night loop is a compact bus with a capacity of 23 passengers, suggesting that demand may be high and early queuing is advisable, a practice familiar to Singaporean commuters.
Dedicated Routes for the Journey Home
Recognizing the challenge of commuting late at night, CapitaLand also provides a Home Shuttle service. Departing from CQ @ Clarke Quay at 4 a.m., after the precinct’s bars and clubs have closed, these buses offer direct, one-way routes to residential hubs in the East and West.
This service specifically transports people to Tampines MRT station and Westgate in Jurong. While the drop-off locations are centralized, even commuters living outside these specific areas can leverage the shuttle to cover a significant portion of their journey home, optimizing the overall travel experience. The home shuttle buses are larger, accommodating 45 passengers, reflecting the peak demand for transport following the closure of nightlife venues.
The introduction of this free transportation network is a strategic move by CapitaLand to maximize the flow of visitors to the modernized CQ @ Clarke Quay. By prioritizing accessibility and affordability, this initiative directly tackles common mobility barriers, encouraging fuller participation in Singapore’s dynamic urban nightlife. Prospective riders can find detailed information on exact schedules and routes on the CapitaLand website for CQ @ Clarke Quay.
