Wolf Bargain(Working from MRT Staytion)

(The letters “YTI” making up Staytion were inspired by mrt tracks which I was told )

(Lone Wolf doing some earth impacting work at Staytion@Paya Lebar)

Covid 19 has brought on fundamental changes to how we work and play. Work from home(WFH) is one such trend arises from the aftermath of the pandemic. Just a few years ago one couldn’t imagine not going to office and still get proper work done at the comfort of your home. Zooming has allowed us to be more productive without the need to travel half way round Singapore and be physically present for work. What if the comfort of working from home is not possible due to screaming kids or the lack of proper working space? Fear not! Working near home can be your best alternative.

Staytion is one of the latest company to offer co-working space. The concept is as simple as providing the users with a comfortable and affordable working space in a convenient location like a MRT station. It was the brain child of founder, Jane Toh who struggled to find a conducive space for her to work in peace during covid period. I find the innovative concept scalable, literally the company could open as many co-working locations in as many MRT stations. Staytion is currently running a promotion for a free day plan. I was at Staytion@Paya Lebar to experience first hand their co-working space. Staytion Engagement Associate, Rika was on site to provide guidance, she was also kind enough to give an introductory tour of the facility. 

The place is brightly lit, giving one a sense of warmth and fuzzy feeling. The chair is comfortable which is essential for long hours of working. I like the quiet environment which can be helpful for any mission critical work that require high level of concentration. There are plenty of power sockets to power up your electronics. Hot desk is spacious even with four concurrent users. The private pod is cosy with good amount of personal space. The outlet opens its door at 9am. The concept is proving to be popular, hot desking spaces were fast taken up within the first 30 minutes of opening hours.

(Meeting room for up to 10 paxs can double up as an event space)

(Drinks machine for users needing a perk me up )

There are 3 choices of co-working space, basic hot desking, one pax and two paxs private studio for those who seek more privacy. Price starts from $5.90 per hour for a hot desk to $10.90 an hour for a personal studio and $21.90 per hour for 2 paxs private studio. Meeting room is available for rental at $59 an hour with projector provided. All packages come with free use of wifi, charging points, water dispenser and drinks station. Staytion has thoughtfully provide a telephone booth that allow hot desk users to take a voice or zoom call in private. For full pricing please click here.

I find their Staytion lite monthly membership a bargain. It is available at only $49 per month for 4 full days of access to any of their Staytion outlets. That work out to be around $12.25 per visit. One could also opt for unlimited membership at $299 per month. All monthly membership comes with unlimited drinks, a 10% off F&B(snacks) and free usage of meeting room for up to 5hrs for unlimited membership. The company is operating out from two locations currently, Marsiling and Paya Lebar MRT station. They will be setting up two new locations in Woodlands and Douby Ghaut MRT station to meet the growing demand for their services. Overall I had a good experience working in Staytion. Now one need not go out of way into an industrial estate or a remote place to find an affordable co-working space, can’t work from home, work near home, work from MRT Station(Staytion). Special shout out for Rika for her kind assistance.
