A car ride would have only taken 16 minutes.
(Singapore) What could have been a 16-minute car ride turned into a spontaneous 2.5-hour trek to Changi Airport for a group of three young women.
The trio's journey was documented on TikTok by user Angie, and was posted on Thursday (July 16).
Captioned "peak unemployment activity", the video has garnered over 180,000 views in one day.
According to a Google Maps screenshot shared in the video, the three's journey from Tanah Merah would take two hours and seven minutes.
They set off at 2.42am, hoping to make it in time for their 7am flight - with luggages and handbags in tow.
The video includes clips of the trio strolling down empty streets which are void of people and vehicles.
The women also appear to walk through a dark underpass, using their phones as a source of light.
They eventually made it to Changi Airport at 5.04am, in time for their flight.
Their journey lasted two-and-a-half hours, and a total of 9.37km.
Netizens were both tickled and amazed by the ladies, with many commending them for completing the walk.
Many others were proud of Singapore's safety, with one saying: "I love Singapore because three girls can walk for two hours all the way to the airport (on walkable paths) at 2am and feel completely safe doing so."
Others also poked fun at the girls for dragging their luggages along the roads, while some asked how the girls did not break a sweat in the humidity.

You were lucky , don’t push it
This is a story? They walked.
Looking forward to the Netflix documentary.
No, Singapore is that safe. Not lucky. They are sorely lacking in one type of diversity, and that keeps it safe.
“Others also poked fun at the girls for dragging their luggages along the roads, while some asked how the girls did not break a sweat in the humidity.”
Probably did it in the winter and then only posted it now.
Yup. Five and a half miles is not a huge task for young people.
Cabin fever?
Do you mean...Hint...Spirit Airlines never flew there?
They’re going to do this in algeria next
Kinda surprised they weren’t stopped by Singapore cops!
Was this done for viral clicks? They forego any normal airport transport to walk in the middle of the night so its unusual. Without looking this sounds rather ho hum.
Singapore, Oh right , you get life in prison for chewing gum
Walking through Singapore at this time of year for 10 minutes is sweaty work. They did it for two hours. Hope they took advantage of the showers at Changi.
2.36 mph is a slow walk. Reasonable for small women. 4 mph is a brisk walk.
The most I ever did was 3/4s of a mile, with three suitcases, from an IC station, on a snowy winter night at 9PM, in south-side Chicago (east Hyde Park). Early ‘80s. It has gotten worse since then. It helped that I was a poor young man with nothing worth stealing.
I did 31 miles with a backpack one night.
Singapore is not Chicago. It is a safe city. There are no illegal drugs in Singapore streets. Big difference that makes.
Pippa Bacca felt the love to!!
I remember taking the L in Chicago from Ohare airport to either 95th or 87th street station at 10 pm. No taxi available!! I had arrived from an International flight and had couple of suitcases without wheels from that era. Luckily I got hold of a friend who picked me up.
