After the new Singapore Sports Hub opened, a special covered walkway was built. This walkway connects Kallang station directly to the Singapore Sports Hub. This helped a lot to reduce the crowds at Stadium station, which is smaller and can only handle shorter trains. Now, it's much easier for everyone to get to and from events!
