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)
