Singapore Changi Airport to Singapore

MRT East West Line (via Tanah Merah)

From Changi Airport MRT (CG2), take the shuttle to Tanah Merah (EW4) and transfer to the East West Line towards Tuas Link for City Hall, Raffles Place and other downtown stops; first trains depart around 05:31 and last connections to the city run around 23:18–00:06 depending on day. Trains typically run about every 7–9 minutes at peak and 12–13 minutes off-peak, with total travel time to City Hall around 30 minutes.

MRT Downtown Line (via Expo)

From Changi Airport MRT (CG2), travel one stop to Expo (CG1/DT35) and transfer to the Downtown Line towards Bukit Panjang for direct access to Bugis, Promenade and other central stations. Services generally operate from around 05:20–05:50 until about midnight, with trains every few minutes at peak and roughly every 7–10 minutes off-peak.

SBS Transit Bus 36 / 36A

Bus 36/36A runs from the basement bus bays of Terminals 1–3 and from Terminal 4 towards the city via Marine Parade, Somerset and Orchard Road, connecting to central MRT stations. It is a cheaper but slower option than MRT, with daytime service roughly from 06:00 until around 23:00–00:00 depending on variant and day.

Airport Taxi (metered city taxis)

Metered taxis are available 24/7 at the Arrival-level taxi stands of all terminals, taking about 25–30 minutes to City Hall or Marina Bay under normal traffic. Typical fares to the city are about S$25–S$45 including an airport surcharge of S$6 or S$8 plus any peak or midnight surcharges.

Grab / Gojek / Tada / Ryde (private hire car)

App-based private hire cars can be booked from providers such as Grab, Gojek, Zig, Tada Mobility and Ryde, with pick-up at designated airport points. They offer door-to-door service to downtown Singapore and pricing similar to or slightly above taxis depending on demand and time of day.
