Spend anything over 15 minutes waiting for the bus, and us Singaporeans will instantly launch into complaints about the heat and long wait time. But at Kampong Bahru Bus Terminal, we’ll actually have a reason to enjoy waiting. Till 9th March 2025, you’ll be able to find a “hidden cinema” there, showcasing a free 27-minute documentary by local director Tan Pin Pin.
Titled Walk Walk, the ultra cool mini cinema is part of The Everyday Museum by Singapore Art Museum. For those who are unfamiliar, The Everyday Museum is part of SAM’s initiative to bring art to common spaces around Singapore. Here’s what to expect at the exhibition:
Off the bat, Kampong Bahru Bus Terminal no longer looks like a typical transit stop. The Transitlink office has been painted a deep shade of navy blue, and plastered with a large sign reading “Walk Walk”. Its interior is now a mini theatre, equipped with a TV screen and seating area.
Outside the “cinema”, there’s also a guestbook for visitors to leave notes and well wishes. But that’s not all – keep a lookout for overhead signs with quirky messages like “walk to workout”, and “walk to workout thoughts”.

The featured documentary by Tan Pin Pin follows a few individuals as they talk about the role of walking in their lives – a pretty relatable topic for all, since walking is an essential part of our day-to-day routines.
To catch it, be sure to come during one of the 5 viewing sessions daily, which run at 2-hour intervals between 10am to 6pm.
Whether you happen to be catching a bus from Kampong Bahru, or scouring SG for the quirkiest gems, Walk Walk at Kampong Bahru Bus Terminal is definitely worth the visit – after all, who could say no to a free film?
