How to Get to Sungai Simpang

As part of Singapore, this area is most easily reached from Changi Airport using the MRT, express buses or taxis. The city-state's compact, integrated transit network makes most places reachable within an hour from the airport.

By Air

Singapore Changi Airport (SIN): Changi is the main international gateway. To reach residential areas within Singapore use the MRT (Mass Rapid Transit), buses or taxis from the airport: the MRT to the city center takes about 30-40 minutes and costs roughly SGD 1.50-2.50; a taxi to central/distant neighbourhoods typically takes 20-40 minutes and costs about SGD 20-40 depending on distance and surcharges.

By Train & Bus

Train (MRT): Singapore’s MRT network covers most of the island; transfer to the closest station for your neighbourhood (use the Land Transport Authority maps). Typical single-trip fares within the island range from about SGD 1.10-2.50 and travel times between major nodes are usually under an hour.

Bus: Singapore’s extensive bus network fills gaps between MRT lines. Buses are frequent, air-conditioned and inexpensive (fares similar to MRT). For inner-island areas not on the MRT, a short bus or last-mile taxi ride is normal.
