Most commuters choose MRT exits based on convenience.
The goal is usually to reach a destination as directly as possible.
Occasionally, however, people leave through the wrong exit.
What follows is often a brief detour through parts of the station area they would not normally encounter.
For nearby food businesses, this can be surprisingly important.
A stall or coffee shop located near a less frequently used exit may receive customers who arrive there accidentally. Some continue walking. Others decide to stop and eat.
The process is not deliberate.
It happens because station layouts are complex, particularly at larger interchanges where multiple exits serve different directions.
These unexpected routes expose commuters to mrt food options they might never have considered otherwise.
Over time, some of these accidental discoveries become regular stops.
A wrong exit leads to a different path.
A different path leads to a different meal.
