trainman34014 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Can anyone tell me the best mode of reasonably priced transport from Singapore Airport to City Centre ? Anyone done it recently ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 The Metro runs direct form the airport, access to most of Singapore. Cheapest, but not wonderful if you have lots of baggage. Does your hotel have an airport shuttle? Taxis, whilst nowhere near as cheap as Bangkok, are effective and all the drivers speak English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Singapore doesn't do 'cheap', what would you consider "reasonably priced"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainman34014 Posted September 17, 2016 Author Share Posted September 17, 2016 I've seen the prices but just wondered if you had knowledge of different hotels there and value for money experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maybole Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Taxis are more expensive than Bangkok, but they do use the meter. Drivers are severly chastised if caught trying to fleece a customer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siam2007 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Geylang has many inexpensive budget-hotels (inexpensive as per SG understanding, that is), but it is the red-light-area and you better wouldn't tell anyone you overnight there. There are more than 30 hotels of chains such as FRAGRANCE HOTELS or HOTEL81 lined up next to each other in lanes Gelyang 6 up to Geylang 20. An MRT station is about 10-12 minutes walk away. The hotels are usually clean and cost anything between 40 and 80 SGD, weekend days more expensive as the red-light trade is more active then. Nothing wrong with the hotels though, I stayed there on 2 occasions when I was on transit between intercon-flights out of Changi, and the nearby MRT goes to the airport directly. I always asked to be accomodated at a "non-horizontal-trade" floor (usually the higher floors). food is cheap in the area and it is not unsafe per se - it is still Singapore, after all. Very "international" atmosphere, though, but I did not find it intimidating in any way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaultdweller0013 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Cheapest would be the MRT. However, there is also a shared ride shuttle that will go to most Singapore hotels in the city for only SGD 9 per person. This is much more convenient if you have luggage or your hotel is not right next to a MRT station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
