Working from home was never an option for Jane Toh who lives with elderly parents, two young kids, a dog, and a husband who is frequently on Zoom calls. This is why she opted to work in cafes instead. However, cafes would often chase her out for doing work there. Tired of this situation, she decided to start "Staytion," a co-working space situated in MRT stations.
"The concept of Staytion was borne to allow working parents like me to have the cake and eat it too. I need not go to the office to enjoy enterprise-grade facilities and I get to do my work in a productive zone," Toh told Singapore Business Review.
"Staytion is a connector and a lifestyle enabler. We alleviate the demands of employees in multigenerational families and people living in tight spaces," she added.
Toh said she put up co-working spaces directly at MRT stations because having a space located in a transport node will allow its users to get the "best of every world - a caffeine fix, catch-up with friends, or a conference call."
