-As mentioned above, most of the spotting done in the terminals are very comfortable with seats, air-conditioning and food available nearby. Transportation wise, it is very easy to get around the airport especially with the sky-train system linking the terminals together and is the most convenient way of getting around the airport. There are public buses (such as service 36) that takes roughly about 30-45 mins to get to the airport from the Orchard Road area and it costs roughly SGD2.00 for the ride. The MRT which is Singapore's Subway System can also get you from the city center to the aiport's Terminal 2 and 3 in about 25 mins (excluding waiting and transit time). A new feature of the airport is that it also offers a new airport hotel operated by Crowne Plaza (accessible from Terminal 3) and it is a good place to spend the night if you plan to do some spotting either within the airport or at Changi Beach Park.
+There are a few ways to get to Changi Airport by public transport.
+The MRT(train/subway system) is a quick and comfortable way to get to the airport. From the city, board the eastbound green line (East-West Line) train to Tanah Merah Station (EW4). This takes about 20 mimutes. From there, transfer to the airport-bound train, which takes you to the airport in 8 minutes. The MRT station is located between Terminal 2 and 3, and you can exit to either terminal. Directional signs are visible once you arrive. A one-way trip will cost about SGD2.90 inclusive of a SGD1.00 refundable deposit for the ticket. There are system and location maps in every station, as well as travel information such as the travel time to a station.
+Public bus services also run from the city and many town centres islandwide. The bus services will stop at each terminal(located at the basement level), calling at Terminal 3 first, then Terminal 1, Terminal 2 and the Budget Terminal before heading back to its destination of origin. Information on bus services is available at the bus terminals at the airport. Fares are about SGD0.90 to SGD1.80 by a contactless card or cash, depending on where you are heading. Bus services available are SBS Transit 24, 27, 34, 36, 53 and SMRT 858.
+Metered taxis can be flagged down along the streets and at airport taxi stands. However, in the business district, you can only board or alight at taxi stands. Fares start from SGD2.60 and increase with distance. Surcharges apply during certain times(such as morning/evening peak periods and after midnight, or when boarding from certain places). Fare information can be found in every taxi.
