Using the MRT to travel from Changi Airport to the City
Welcome to Singapore!
The Changi Airport (CG2) station is linked to the airport’s three main terminals (1/2/3). This is a separate transportation mode from the inter-terminal Changi Airport Skytrain system.
To get to the City, commuters may take a train to Tanah Merah (CG/EW4) station, then alight and transfer to the westbound train towards Tuas Link (EW33) station.
Take note of the in-train announcements and information systems, which will guide you to the correct platform to board the City-bound train.

Public transport fares & MRT ticketing information
Singapore’s public transport uses the distance-based fare calculation system, which charges you according to the total distance travelled in your journey.
Commuters can use the two most common ways to pay for public transport fares: the unlimited Singapore Tourist Pass or a stored-value travel card, like the EZ-Link card.
You may also use SimplyGo, an electronic mode of payment by tapping in to pay for your public transport fares. Tap using a physical Visa/Mastercard/American Express contactless credit/debit card or through a mobile wallet such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay.
Download the SimplyGo mobile application on your iOS or Android device to view your travel transaction history, transit fares incurred and other card-related ticketing needs.
NOTE: Always use the same contactless card, mobile wallet, or travel card to tap in and out of the public transport network. You will be charged for two full incomplete journeys if you use a mix of payment methods at the point of entry and exit.

Nearest MRT Station to Food Centres around the City
Being a multi-racial, multi-lingual and multi-religious society, Singapore has diverse foods with endless options.
It is common to have a meal at a hawker food centre in Singapore, and it is also great that various MRT stations are conveniently located near these food centres!
The Newton Food Centre was recommended by former F1 driver Karun Chandhok, and the F1 engineers of the Mercedes-AMG F1 Team also found a good-luck curry stall there.
Please refer to the official Food & Beverage listing for F&B options within the circuit park.
