Speed_ong Clutched November 29, 2010 Share November 29, 2010 Went there around 11 plus in the morning and long queue outside carpark. Carpark was like a HDB mulitstorey carpark with very limited lots. Only manage to go up 2nd floor before getting stuck inside for another 15mins and told to leave the carpark by security as inside the carpark was totally jam up. Take the MRT there next time. Save you time and petrol! Very poor car park design and poor management. Security people not doing their job well and long queue of cars outside waiting to go in. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafansu Turbocharged November 29, 2010 Share November 29, 2010 My 5 cents- it's a new mall and a lot of people will be going there. You can't expect smooth traffic in this case. Just park at those HDB carpark there's a lot of lots for you to choose from Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HDB carparks next to the mall will mostly be full. MRT still the best choice. Learn my lesson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahtong 1st Gear November 29, 2010 Share November 29, 2010 Are there any interesting shops at NEX? Don't want to go there and see the same old franchised shops every shopping centre has Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed_ong Clutched November 29, 2010 Author Share November 29, 2010 Anyway, the carpark layout was quite bad. Went to so many shopping centres in Singapore. This one can consider one of the worst design. Maybe the upper decks are better but never manage to reach there. Security guards attitude sucks too!! Shouting at the drivers to exit.

GLZT 6th Gear November 29, 2010 Share November 29, 2010 Are there any interesting shops at NEX? Don't want to go there and see the same old franchised shops every shopping centre has I think all the shopping malls now standard one. When 313 and Central opened, things also seems pretty standardize. Only maybe the mall design more exquisite and luxury. Time to head down some day this week since its like only 1 stop away from my home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kungming 1st Gear November 29, 2010 Share November 29, 2010 (edited) I was there. The design is really cmi. If one car gets stuck, the whole system fails as its the layout is narrow and unidirectional. Not only will the incoming traffic be held up, the outgoing gets stalled too, adding to the delay. In the end the mall has to activate its security guards to direct traffic by stopping cars from entering and letting those exiting cars go first. Frankly speaking,dun see how much they can improve when it is a systematic design flaw. You guys can go try it out and see if yr heng or suay.

They have a lot of car parks nearby and each car park can easily accomodate few hundreds car. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
