Genius McDonald’s MRT Ad Shows Outlets At Almost Every Stop Along NSL & EWL

McDonald’s Singapore MRT Advertisement Shows Stations With Outlets

For many people in Singapore, McDonald’s is the go-to when you need a quick, fuss-free meal. This means that it is essential for their restaurants to be strategically located, preferably near transport hubs.

McDonald’s Singapore reportedly ran a genius advertisement detailing which MRT stations have an outlet nearby.

A TikTok user came across the ad on an MRT train and shared it on the short-video platform, garnering much talk amongst other users.

On Friday (16 June), a TikTok user posted an interesting advertisement he encountered on the train.

It was a McDonald’s Singapore poster detailing which stations have a restaurant nearby on the MRT map.

Based on the map, the train was either on the East-West Line (EWL) or the North-South Line (NSL).

Per the poster, the stations on these two services without a McDonald’s restaurant nearby are:

• Tanah Merah
• Kembangan
• Eunos
• Redhill
• Queenstown
• Chinese Gardens
• Gul Circle
• Tuas Crescent
• Tuas West Road
• Tuas Link
• Newton
• Marina Bay
• Marina South Pier
• Yio Chu Kang
• Kranji

Additionally, the OP joked in the in-video text that McDonald’s Singapore has better coverage than the two largest telcos in the country.

On top of that, some eagle-eyed commenters noted that there are, in fact, outlets near some of the stations that the poster indicated otherwise. This commenter pointed out that Queenstown has an outlet at Queensway Shopping Centre.

Well, McDonald’s, maybe this is a sign for you to open more outlets in places that need them because, clearly, there’s a demand.
