Getting to and from Singapore Changi Airport
Just landed at Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) and wondering how to reach your hotel or meeting? Changi offers MRT (metro), public buses, taxis/ride-hailing, private transfers, and car rentals—so you can choose the best option for your budget, schedule, and group size.
MRT (Metro)
The Changi Airport MRT Station (CG2) sits between Terminals 2 and 3. To reach the city, ride to Tanah Merah (EW4) and transfer to the East-West Line, or go one stop to Expo (CG1/DT35) and switch to the Downtown Line—both routes are simple and well signposted.
Public Bus
Budget-friendly buses connect every terminal to key city districts.
T1–T3: Buses 24, 27, 34, 36, 53, 110, 858
T4: Buses 24, 34, 36, 110
Tap in with contactless cards (Visa/Mastercard/NETS), mobile wallets, EZ-Link/NETS FlashPay, or the Singapore Tourist Pass. Bus 36 is a popular direct service into town.
Taxi & Ride-Hailing
Taxis are available 24/7 outside every terminal and are the fastest door-to-door option. Airport location surcharge applies: S$8 from 5:00 pm to 11:59 pm daily; S$6 at all other times, plus any peak-hour surcharges and the metered fare. Card payments are widely accepted.
Private Airport Transfers (Meet-and-Greet)
Prefer a fixed price and a driver waiting at arrivals? Book via Changi’s Ground Transport Concierge (GTC)—open 24 hours in each terminal. Current guide prices: 4-seater S$55 per trip, 6-seater S$60 per trip to any destination in Singapore. Ideal for families, late arrivals, or bulky luggage.
Car Rental
Want complete flexibility? On-airport car hire desks operate across the terminals (e.g., SIXT in T1; AVIS in T2/T3; myCarriage in T3; Lylo in T4). Pick up your vehicle on site and explore Singapore and nearby regions at your pace.
Useful to Know (Transfers & Connections)
Terminals 1–3 are linked by free Skytrain and indoor walkways (with direct links to Jewel).
Terminal 4 connects to the other terminals via a free shuttle bus. Clear signage makes transfers quick and easy.
