Getting There
Taxi: The most convenient way of getting to NTU from Changi Airport is by taxi. Have the taxi driver take East Coast Parkway (ECP), then Pan Island Expressway (PIE) going towards Tuas, and exit the expressway at Exit 36 Jalan Bahar and keep right. Turn right to Jalan Bahar and soon you will see a white road sign leading to the university. Turn left into Nanyang Avenue, and after a long drive you will reach the main gate. Continue along Nanyang Avenue, and immediately after the bus-stop, turn left into Nanyang Crescent. Drive up along Nanyang Crescent, and turn in to the first road on your right and you will notice the prominent Centre.
The ride will cost you from 35 SGD to 45 SGD depending on time of traveling, and it will take 30-40 minutes in smooth traffic. Alternatively, at the Changi Airport taxi stand you can take a limousine taxi, which will cost you 45 SGD flat (plus 10 SGD for midnight surcharge if time of arrival is after midnight) to any part of Singapore. This cab has a bigger capacity and it is somewhat more comfortable then a regular cab.
Taxis charge according to the meter. A surcharge of 3.00 SGD to 5.00 SGD is payable for all trips originating from Changi Airport. Details of other surcharges may be found at the taxi stand or posted on the door of the taxis.
Mass Rapid Transit (MRT - Subway): Should you choose to take the MRT system, the Changi Airport MRT station is located outside the Arrival Hall in Terminal 2. Take the west-bound MRT from Changi Airport Station (CG2), transfer at Tanah Merah Station (EW4), and alight at Boon Lay Station (EW27), the last station on the west end of the East-West Line. This trip will cost you 1.90 SGD and it will take 1 h 10 min.

From Boon Lay MRT station to Nanyang Executive Centre, participants may either take a 10 minute taxi ride costing about S$6 (follow the driving directions from Jalan Bahar described above), or take bus service number 179 or 199 at Boon Lay Bus Interchange located right next to the MRT station. Thereafter, alight at B05 "Canteen 2" (2731A) if you take bus 179 or B09 "Hall 8" (2720Z) if you take bus 199. The 15 minute bus journey costs 1.10 SGD (Lane 179) or 1.30 SGD (Lane 199) by cash. You are encouraged to bring the correct fare as the bus driver does give money back. Participants will have to make a 5-minutes walk from the bus stops to Nanyang Executive Centre.
