From SIN to Changi Village
Changi Village is close to the airport on the island's north-east tip, so a taxi is quick and cheap — about 10–15 minutes and S$10–18. There is no MRT to the village itself; instead take a short public bus, or ride the MRT to Tanah Merah and connect by bus. It's the gateway to the Changi Point ferry for Pulau Ubin and a famous nasi lemak hawker centre.
