The airport limousine bus is S$9/head and will drop you off at the hotel. Look for the ground transport desk at the arrivals hall.

How long does it take? We are landing at 3pm.
Then, we are departing (after 4 days) at 11 am

Thanks
So long as you get out of there by about 3.30pm it should only take you 20mins. Leaving at 11am means you have to be at the airport by 9am, means it could take you a bit longer, maybe 30-40mins.

Why at 9am?

Those flying in biz/first, statusholders and everyone on SQ metal can show up a bit later as check-in will be very quick.

But on an econ ticket with no status on Emirates for instance, the check-in process will drag on painfully...

How many passengers do airport limousine buses typically carry and how many hotel stops do they make?

It's usually a small 19 seater bus and they will stop only at the hotels that their passengers on board are going to.

For a 15:35 arrival from DPS on Air Asia, would it be faster to take the MRT to Somerset with just a carry-on roller, than to take a taxi? (clearing immigration, claim baggage, queue at taxi stand, peak hour traffic...)

I understand there are 2 changes to make - one at the EW4, (forgot the name of the station), then at City Hall to the red line going North to Somerset. Is it $2 fare or $4?

It will be faster taking a taxi, but of course it is more expensive... Should be around $20+ to Somerset.

The train is a single fare from Changi Airport to Somerset, you only need to change platforms, no need to come out of the fare gates.

FYI.. You also need to head to either t3 or t2 via skytrain to take the mrt as airasia arrives at t1. That will cost you a bit of time and walking too..

Bump really no takers, no one knows if the shuttles run all night? Im arriving on UA , the last time I stayed at the CP in the Term, but since this is a shorter visit Id like to get to Clarke Quay and get 2 nights for the same pts as what the CP would cost If anyone will be using the shuttles within the next month+ Id appreciate a shout back at what they tell you TIA

Is there Uber, Lyft, or other similar services in Singapore?

I arrive there at 11:55pm, and imagine I will be ready to leave around 1am (getting off plane, immigration, no checked bags, ATM, etc.)

Do you think there would be a long line for a taxi at that hour, on a Friday night in January?

My destination is the Conrad.

If I arrive at 11:55pm, I expect to be in the Conrad by 1am (by taxi) - not at the taxi line.
