Singapore transport from Airport
 
Please give me some information for transportation from Airport to Gaylang, Lavender area.
I'll arrive Singapore at 23:25 TZ301 from Thailand.
I'm not sure train is still operate that late.
I have hear that there is $9 shuttle bus to city but is that operating that late?
Please give me some information for that

Geylang is on the airport side of town, a taxi will not be at all expensive.

By the time you get into the taxi it will be after midnight so prepare for 50% added surcharge and airport surcharge. If it is a weekend you may be able to catch the MRT as it operates later into the night. But at that time, catch a cab. It will not break the bank.

I'd take a cab. It won't be that much, and you will be a lot more comfortable than trying to get there on your own after a long flight and after midnight.

Thank you for your information! Wow, 50% add surcharge for taxi! I may better ask hotel to organize transport. Do you know how much cost from Airport to Geylang by taxi?

Taxi will still be cheaper......

Yup, even with the 50% surcharge, taxi will be cheaper.

I find this site to be pretty accurate:

Looks like about $36 Singapore (+/- US$28), Changi to Lavender after midnight including $5 Airport surcharge. There are plenty of signs to the taxi line in the airport.

Hotel transport is often higher, but you might check.

While in S'pore, remember that calling for a taxi costs more than catching one on the street.

Thanks all!
I just came back from Singapore. My flight was delay and arrived in Singapore around 3am!! I just found Airport shuttle desk front of me. It's 24hrs operation so I took an Airport shuttle. This is going to direct to our Hotel only. It's SG$9! It's cheaper than taxi. Nobody use airport shuttle that time so it was only me for shuttle bus. Local people were taking a taxi but it was long queue.
I went to Airport from Geylang area by taxi because I've got a cold so I didn't want to take a train to go to airport. It's cost around SG$17. It was around 6pm
