# '''MRT''': The MRT (train/subway system) is a quick and comfortable way to get to the airport. From the city, board the East-West Line (green line) train to Tanah Merah Station (EW4). This takes about 20 mimutes. From there, transfer to the airport-bound train at the middle platform, which takes you to the airport in about 8 minutes. The train frequency is about 6mins (4mins during peak periods) for the East-West line and 12 mins for the airport line. The MRT station is located between Terminal 2 and 3, and you can exit to either terminal. An internal skytrain system for both the public and transit passengers connects Terminals 1, 2 and 3. Directional signs to the exits 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.
