Exit the train on the LEFT SIDE (important!) and cross the platform where a train to the city will shortly arrive. Total transfer time to the city center (City Hall) is about 25-30 mins. Cost SGD $2.80 including $1 deposit for the card. Note, the last train to the city leaves daily at 2318. | |

| The fare for the MRT ride should not exceed SGD$ 1.80, but a $1 refundable deposit is charged when you buy your ticket card from the machine. Intervals are less than 10 mins. The trip is surprisingly easy, even with large bags. | |
