Taking the public transportation especially MRT when you are in Singapore might save you some money.
A taxi ride from Changi Airport to Orchard Road might cost you about S$17. Unless you have 4 people in a taxi ride (full capacity), the cost difference between taking MRT and taking taxi might be quite a lot.
Of course, there's also another mode of public transportation service provided by the Airport Authority that you might want to consider.
Last week, I tried taking MRT from the airport to Orchard Road just to see how convenient it is to take the MRT. I found it quite OK despite the need to change train 2 times.
Here is how.........
TAKING MRT FROM CHANGI AIRPORT TO ORCHARD ROAD
In order to take the MRT, you have to go to Terminal 3 first at Changi Airport. MRT station is located at Terminal 3.
Buy your ticket @ S$3.10 per person to get to Orchard Station.
1. Take East West Line (dark green color) from Changi Airport Station (CG2) to Tanah Merah Station (EW4, the 2nd stop after Changi Airport Station)
2. Stop at Tanah Merah Station (EW4) by taking the left platform and then take the train that is going to Joo Koon direction, then make a stop at City Hall Station (EW13, the 9th stop after Tanah Merah Station)
3. Change MRT line to North South Line (red color, Jurong East Direction) from City Hall Station (EW13, NS25) to Orchard Station (NS22) or Somerset Station (NS23) depending on which part of Orchard Road you want to go.
Good luck finding your way around in Singapore!!! :)
