One-stop transport centre at T1 a big hit
EVERY day, about 900 people use CityCab's airport shuttle service to the city, a 45 per cent jump compared to two weeks ago.


The centre, near the old taxi queue at Terminal 1, houses several booths, including one for the airport shuttle service and another for the limousine taxi service. The sharp increase came after Changi Airport set up a Ground Transport Centre at the arrival hall of Terminal 1, which informs visitors of the different modes of transport available.

New signs directing people to the centre, which was set up on Dec 19, were also put up inside the restricted area for passengers and in the arrival hall.

The centre, near the old taxi queue, houses several booths, including one for the airport shuttle service and another for the limousine taxi service.

CityCab's shuttle service, using seven-seater taxis, ferries passengers from the airport to different points around the city, including most hotels and MRT stations, for $7 an adult and $5 a child.

A car rental counter will also be opened soon, said the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS).

At the centre, visitors can also purchase a special card entitling them to discounts of up to 40 per cent at selected hotels and eateries in Singapore.

The card can also be used to pay for bus and MRT rides and topped up when the $10 stored value is used up.

Before the centre was set up, the various booths were located in different parts of the arrival hall and there was no car rental booth.

CAAS spokesman Albert Tjoeng said: 'The counters for the different services were available before, but the one-stop centre located near the taxi queue is more visible and makes it easy for visitors to make informed decisions, especially if they are in Singapore for the first time.'

Those interviewed at the airport agreed.

Mr Timothy Scott, 29, an IT product manager living in London, said: 'The signs are very clear and the moment I stepped into the arrival hall, I saw the huge overhead sign. Very convenient indeed.'

Indian student Attupurath Abraham, 18, said: 'The last time I came to Singapore, I saw the signs that said airport shuttle service and limousine service. But visitors may not always know what these refer to. When you have a sign that says Ground Transport Centre, it is more clear.'

The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) also plans to set up a booth for visitors near the centre.

Similar services will be available at Terminal 2 when it is upgraded by next year, said Mr Tjoeng.
