airport is pretty far from raffles place..and if your flight lands around midnight, cab fare will be 50% more expensive..

However,train ends around 11++ pm too..so you gotta take a cab, no choice.

It's only money and you cannot take it with you. Get a cab. Life's too short. Anyway it's a Singapore experience getting a cab

I once got a bus from the airport home to Geylang (without luggage) just to see where it went. It went e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e...

I still say MRT is doable, in these days of trolley cases, although I wouldn't because I'm lazy.

Wow you must've been desperate, although a taxi would've been quicker and maybe he could've advised on the best place.

Yeah I know you lived there.

If you are determined, you can board the MRT at Changi Airport station and alight at Raffles MRT station. Then walk or hail a cab to your hotel.

Lugging a luggage onto the bus is a bad idea, I don't think you will find the space. There is a MRT (train station) at Changi Airport itself, but it is a distance away, you can walk there with your luggage on stroller mode, but it depends on how determined you are I guess.
