parking woes at s'pore general hospital

































these days if you have to go for a medical appointment or visit someone at s'pore general hospital, please be advised not to drive there unless you enjoy driving from car-park to car-park searching for a parking space or you like to entertain yourself to a self-drive tour around the whole campus.

with the closure of the car-park next to the housemen's canteen, there is now a very tight squeeze on car park space. every car-park within sgh seems to display the 'full' sign and within each car-park itself, you will find a number of cars and other vehicles waiting for others to vacate their lots. forget also about parking at the only coupon-parking car-park near second hospital avenue because it is always fully parked.

if you really must drive, then you should be there much earlier than the appointed time. you have to factor in the time you need to spend looking or waiting for a space. or you could park somewhere nearby like the car-park at the temporary chinatown food centre.

the best way and the way that is least frustrating is to take a bus to outram road or new bridge road. during peak hours, it is also not a wise move to travel by train because the trains will be sardine-packed.
