  Hi all,
  
  Just wondering any suggestions on how to get there bearing in mind all the closed carparks and road closures?
  Seems like want to drive also difficult...if driving park where? then take bus...
  Or which MRT stations...Seems like got shuttle @ Expo or Pasir Ris...
  Take taxi got S$10 location surcharge...
  
  Thanks all.

  Obviously either you dont understand sarcasm(esp. those "good news & bad news" jokes) or that i should put a smiley in,like this~
  
  ADD:Interestingly,the day before this announcement China declared that it will purchase 100 civilian aircraft per year,wonder if it is a coincidence or a relation btw the news?

  The QUestion is will the US be as participative as it used to be in singapore.
  HK is a chinese territory and the Sino-America bilateral relation is sometimes hot and cold over taiwan issue.
  
  the exhibition may risk a baycott for the american defense companies.

  Driving is too troublesome. Forget about it.
  If you intend to drive, the nearest available parking spaces will probably be in Simei and Tampines areas. Places like Expo will probably have their spaces full quite early.
  
  MRT can take to Simei MRT Stn and take Bus 9 from the bus stop directly outside Simei Eastpoint (beside Simei MRT station).
  
  Alternatively, can take MRT to Bedok and take Bus 9 from the interchange there.
  
  Last option can take Bus 19 from Tampines Interchange.

  Been to Aerospace.
  
  if you are taking Taxi.... be prepared for expensive ride.
  
  CISCO guards diverts traffic to all over the place that uncle have to make a big circle before entering secuirty check points at Changi V.
  
  Then it's slow.
  
  Going home from there, surcharge $10!!!!!! Kena scolded by uncle just now, he say i know got surcharge and still trying to pay him meter rate. haha.
  
  I thought he is just being nice mah. since usually driver will press the surcharge button before the ride starts.
  
  I think the fastest way is go Expo Mrt and take Shuttle. $2 one way. not too bad.

  As I'm not going into the exhibition grounds but just gonna stand outside the fence and enjoy the flying display, I believe the above is the best arrangement.
  
  I heard that even though there are shuttle buses from Pasir Ris Interchange to the site, I believe you can only get aboard when you show your AA2006 entry ticket (The bus fare is 'incorporated' into the ticket) to the Transitlink staff there.
  
  At least the $2 fare from the EXPO is more reasonable (for me) as I don't want to pay $21 to take the ride when I just want to see the flying display only.
  
  Am I correct?

  Just went there yesterday and took the shuttle down. The $2 fare is not incorporated with the ticket. I got on the bus without a pass either, since they only issue the passes at the changi exhibtion area itself.
  
  For your info.

  $2 fare incorporated is for PUBLIC days only. not TRADE days.
