Is there any way I can go into the city (probably Bencoolen Rd.) from the airport without taking a taxi?
I'll probably be arriving in the evening (around 9 p.m.)
Thanks.

Take the MRT to Bugis or Dhoby Ghaut.
Also bus #36 from terminal 1,2 or 3 will take u to the southern end of Bencoolen Steet.

no worries
9pm is plenty of time on a weekday
train ends at 11pm
just get a good google map handy to help you walk around near bencoolen

Is there an MRT station right at the airport? Or do I need some other form of transport to get to the nearest MRT station?
And is Bencoolen a very crowded area in the evening...?
Many thanks to both of you.

the airport is at the basement of Terminal 2 in Changi airport. Plenty of signs to direct you to it, you wont have a problem.
I wouldnt call Bencoolen a 'very crowded area', but you wont be a lone figure there for sure.

the mrt also links to terminal 3 now. if you are arriving at terminal 1, you can take a skytrain to terminal 2 or 3 to get to the mrt station. else, you can always take the bus. the bus interchange is located at the basement of all 3 terminals.

OK, I now know that I'm going to arrive at terminal 1...
And I also know that I have to reach 170 Bencoolen Rd. (Ibis Hotel). Sounds like a long road...! So should I take the bus or the MRT?... Someone mentioned that bus #36 will take me to the southern end of Bencoolen Rd., but I have no idea if 170 Bencoolen is near the southern end or not...
Please advise!
