Getting to and from the airport

You've booked your air tickets, accommodation and am set to land in Changi Airport. But hey wait, you've missed out on one thing and that's how you would be getting from Changi Airport to where you would be staying. 

Now, first things first, there're are many modes of transportation available at Changi airport. 

If you would like to arrive in style in a privately chauffeured car, there's Blacklane with their fleet of Mercedes cars which will pick you up from the arrival halls and drive you to your destination.

Alternatively, you could get to the taxi stand and queue up for a taxi. There are a few taxi companies in Singapore and all charge a base rate with the lowest starting from $3.20 for a standard taxi. There is an additional surcharge of $3 or $5 for any pick-ups from the airport. Taxis are metered in Singapore and you pay for whatever you see on the meter. There are no surcharges on the number of luggages brought into the taxi. A ride into the city may cost between $20 to $40.

If you seek a cheaper alternative, there is the MRT (Mass Rapid Trains) which travels from Changi Airport Station to stations in town such as Orchard or City Hall. The public bus service 36 or 36A would also bring you into the town area. A bus ride into the town area would cost about $2.50. Although much cheaper, the journey can take up to an hour.

Another alternative is Uber, which is also operating in Singapore. You may read about them here.
