Getting around Newton is not an issue. It has its own MRT station, which is on the North-south and Downtown lines.

Taking the North-south Line first, that goes directly to Jurong in one direction, via Bishan, Ang Mo Kio and Woodlands. South is toward Marina Bay. It stops at Orchard (one stop away) and Raffles Place (five stops away).
The recently opened Newton Downtown Line goes to Bukit Panjang in the north, via Botanic Gardens, Sixth Avenue and Beauty World. In the other direction to Expo, it goes to Little India, Telok Ayer and Chinatown.
For drivers, the area is fantastically well served. Bukit Timah Road and the Newton Flyover make up its northern boundary, while both the CTE and Scotts Road dissect it.
The nearest ERP Gantries are just east and just west of Dhoby Ghaut.
