Ugh. Nex. What an absolutely terrible place to drive to. Manoeuvrability: Tight or not? Narrow up and down ramps, lots are not very big. Poor. In-bound and out-bound traffic also mixes, so during peak hours its slowwwww moving. And because its narrow, once a person needs to enter/exit the lot, all traffic comes to a halt. And, let’s also not forget about the sharp u-turn on the second last floor before exiting. 1/10 Ease of navigation: Confusing or not? The carpark itself is quite straightforward, however getting into the mall from the carpark is less straightforward. Some floors have direct access, some don’t (Level 3a, and Level 3 on the not-Fairprice side). Also, depending on which floor you park, you might have to walk up/down some ramps to get to the lift lobby. 3/10 Lot availability: Crowded or not? There’s 450 lots, but considering the size of the mall (Nex is huge. Too huge), it’s always crowded. When we went at lunchtime on a weekday, there were 15 available lots. And a guy controlling (well, restricting) entry into the carpark. Boo. 2/10 Cost: Expensive of not? Price-wise, it’s okay. $1.40 an hour on weekdays, $1.50 on weekends. 6/10 EV Chargers: Can charge or not? Nope. 0/10 Motorcycle lots: Bike-friendly or not? There are some. Per entry parking. 6/10 Accessibility: Can find or not? Not hard to find. But during peak periods, traffic along Serangoon Link Rd (people queuing to enter the carpark) can back up to the traffic light and even beyond. 7/10 Overall design: Good or not? Rubbish. Considering the mall that it’s designed to serve, the Nex carpark is truly terrible. It’s too small, too narrow, too inefficient in handling traffic. Going to Nex? Park at Blk 264. 1/10.
