8/4/2019 Singapore Airport Transfer Guide

1/2

To the city

Description Price Main pros and cons

Airport Shuttle ServiceThis relatively inexpensive minibus service

provides transport between the airport

and anywhere in the City center, as well as

to hotels all over Singapore (excluding

Changi Village and Sentosa).

You will need to book and pay the fare in

cash at the Ground Transport Desk(there

is one in each arrival Hall).

Return journeys to the airport can be

arranged from most of the large hotels.

Daily, 24 hours a day

Phone booking : Terminal 1 : 6542 8297,

Terminal 2 : 6542 5831, T/3 : 6241 3818

One way fare (Airport - city) is SG$ 9for an adult and SG$ 6 for a child. Pros Easy to board: Picking passengers from each of the

arrival halls.

Cheaper than a taxi (if you are on your own) Takes you exactly to where you want to go..Cons

For two people or more, taking a cab usually makesmore sense

More expensive than a bus/MRT (although stillreasonable for what you get).

Relatively long traveling time, as there are otherpassengers on the minibus, who need to be taken todifferent hotels

TheSee Singapore Attraction Passcan save a lot of money for those of you who wish to make the most of their

precious holiday time You can take a Singapore River Cruise, or ride the worlds largest observation wheel, visit

one (or more) of Singapore's fantastic museums, see the world's largest collection of tropical orchids at the

National Orchid Garden, visitJurong's BirdParkand Singapore Zoo, join a guided walking tour and much more

MRT SubwaySingapore's subway/metro system is

among the best on earth but,

unfortunately, there is no direct service

between Changi Airport and town, which

means you have to change trains

enroute Nonetheless, you are still likely

to get to town in a reasonable time, so it is

still an option worth considering

Less than SG$ 2 to the city centre(Orchard Road / Singapore River).

A child will pay around SG$ 0.60

Average traveling time is roughly

35 50 minutes (including switching

trains), depends where in town are

you traveling to

Pros Very cheap Quite fast and comfortable (especially if it is a "dead

hour" of the day, and the train is fairly empty)

Cons You will need to change trains enroute, and although

the MRT stations are very comfortable, it still means

dragging your luggage

The MRT does not take you exactly where you wantto go You will still have to move between the

station and your hotel

There is no direct access from terminal-1 to the MRTstation: You will need to use the airport's "Skytrain"to move between the terminals, or the inter-terminal

travellators, which is very easy, indeed

(If coming from the Budget terminal, you will have to

take the shuttle to terminal-2, from where there is

direct access to the MRT station)
