StanChart Marathon should not shut down city in land-scarce S'pore on Saturday

[Alice Alicia]

For some, traffic came to a standstill for at least three hours in the Keppel area towards the city.

What is becoming increasingly clear is that it sucks to be everyone, because as it turns out, tens, if not, hundreds of thousands of people were trapped in traffic on Saturday evening.

This was after the three-day running event closed nearly 90 roads and lanes at various times from Friday, Nov. 29, to Sunday, Dec. 1.

All these closures occurred as U2’s first of two concerts in Singapore occurred at the National Stadium, Orchard Road teemed with Black Friday bargain hunters, a three-day anime festival at Suntec City Convention Center attracted the weebs, and the Christmas Wonderland event was held at Gardens by the Bay.
