I am not talking about the MRT system. I see that everyday.

I am currently in Singapore and I swear I haven't seen daylight in two days. My hotel is directly connected to this MRT and Mall. I am just underground and everything is so huge down here.

I wonder is this a city under the city?

Not exactly a map, but here’s an article about some of their underground passages. I don’t think there’s a whole city under the city. Just a network of underpasses that connect buildings, because of the heat and all. Taipei has something similar.

Is it cooler than Montreals? People told me the same thing about there but it’s just a series of narrow ugly passageways. What a disappointment.

The underground path in Toronto is 2km of shops, dining, gyms, etc.

It was bustling before the pandemic and hasn't fully returned to that capacity yet.

Local SG here, as far as I know direct underground connections between buildings are only common within the city area - head to the heartlands / fringes and you'll see some sunlight

I tried Google Maps Live View (i.e. AR View) to navigate underground, but it's a hit or miss.

maybe https://openlevelup.net/?l=0#11/1.3025/103.9049 to the extent that it is mapped in OSM?

I guess you are unlikely to find a complete map due to security (the military kind, not annoying teens) concerns.

I know we have maps like that for the (publicly accessible) tunnels under Chicago, I'm sure someone has done the same for your city.
