“In today’s market, where consumers prioritise eco-conscious choices, pop-up hotels are swiftly emerging as a lucrative niche. Our endeavour taps into this trend and exemplifies a fusion of profitability and sustainability,” said Seah Liang Chiang, Tiny Pod Pte Ltd Founder and CEO.
Tiny Pod’s co-living train project is an extension to their pop-up shipping container hotel at LaunchPad @ one-north, which was launched in 2020 and expanded to urban and public spaces at Gardens By The Bay and Haw Par Villa.
“Building on the success of its shipping container hotel testbed, Tiny Pod’s co-living train is a natural progression for sustainable hospitality solutions through adaptive reuse,” said JTC’s Director for New Estates Business Development and Marketing Division, Yap Eai-Sy.

This is not the first public transport-themed hotel. In 2023, bookings for The Bus Collective, a resort hotel with that repurposed old buses into luxury suites, opened.
