Commuters travel through many MRT stations each week.
Yet most people only eat near a small number of them.
The reason is rarely the lack of food. Almost every station offers nearby dining options. Instead, eating habits tend to form around routine.
People associate certain stations with work, others with home, and a handful with regular meals.
These patterns remain surprisingly consistent.
Even when new restaurants open, commuters often return to the places they’ve already built into their journey.
Movement creates familiarity.
And familiarity shapes where people choose to eat.
