1 Basic Information 1.1 Introduction The Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games Transport Guide provides information on transport matters for all accredited clients of the Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games (Singapore 2010). They include Young Olympians, Team Officials, International Olympic Committee (IOC) officials and guests, National Olympic Committee (NOC) officials and guests, International Federation (IF) representatives and guests and the media 1. This guide also includes information on Singapore s public transport system. The Singapore 2010 transport operations are executed through an integrated transport system, employing common shuttle services, preplanned transport services and public transport, complemented by pooled vehicle services. Operations are supported by the employment of Youth Olympic Lanes. Common shuttle services are bus services used to transport all Singapore 2010 accredited client groups between Singapore 2010 venues. Each common shuttle vehicle may contain a mix of clients. Most of the common shuttle services will originate from two transport malls, which function in a similar manner to public bus interchanges. These are the Youth Olympic Village Transport Mall (YTM) and the City Transport Mall (CTM). As the name suggests, the YTM is located within the Youth Olympic Village (YOV) to serve mainly Young Olympians and Team Officials; it operates from 10 to 28 Aug 2010. The CTM, on the other hand, operates from 6 to 28 Aug 2010 and is co-located with the Main Media Centre (MMC) to serve the media and clients residing at the IOC/Youth Olympic Games (YOG) hotels. Pre-planned transport services are used to meet transport requirements for certain activities with predetermined schedules between designated points at a designated time. They operate on a pre-planned basis. These include airport transfers and movement of teams competing in team sports from the YOV to competition/training venues. In general, buses will be used for preplanned transport services. However, depending on needs, cars may be assigned if it is deemed as a more cost-effective solution. 1 Spectators are advised to refer to the Official Spectator Guide for relevant transport information. 3

Pooled vehicle services are meant for clients with security or operational requirements that cannot be met by other transport services. This service provides transportation on demand by car, limousine taxi or minibus between Singapore 2010 venues only. 1.2 Summary of Venues 1.2.1 Competition and Training Venues The following is a list of Singapore 2010 competition and training venues for each sport: Sport Aquatics Diving Competition Venue(s) Toa Payoh Swimming Complex Training Venue(s) Toa Payoh Swimming Complex Aquatics Swimming Singapore Sports School Jurong West Swimming Complex Singapore Sports School Nanyang Technological University Sports and Recreation Centre Archery Kallang Field Kallang Field Athletics Bishan Stadium Nanyang Technological University Sports and Recreation Centre Badminton Singapore Indoor Stadium Singapore Polytechnic Basketball 3 on 3 Basketball *scape Youth Space Nanyang Technological University Sports and Recreation Centre YOV 4 Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games Transport Guide

1.3 Transport Desks Transport desks will be set up at all Singapore 2010 competition/training venues, IOC/YOG hotels, CEP venues and the Singapore Changi International Airport. Transport desks serve as front desks to answer all transport-related queries. They also facilitate requests for pre-planned transport services for departure from Singapore, as well as pooled vehicle services. During the Games period, transport desks at IOC/YOG hotels and the CTM will operate daily from 07:00 up to 23:00 hours, while the transport desk at YTM will operate daily from 07:00 up to 22:30 hours. Transport Desks at competition/training venues and CEP venues will only operate on days when the venue is operational. The transport desks at Changi Airport will operate 24 hours daily from 5 to 28 Aug 2010. They will be located after immigration and baggage claim at the coach bays of the three main airport terminals and at the VIP Complex. 1.4 Other Sources of Information Young Olympians and Team Officials staying at the YOV will be able to access transport information in a summarised form, such as the operating hours and frequency of service, through the Digital Concierge for Singapore 2010. Transport information will also be available on the Singapore 2010 website at www.singapore2010.sg. 2 Singapore 2010 Transport Services 2.1 Common Shuttle Services 2.1.1 Introduction Common shuttle services are bus services which run at a regular frequency and are open to all Singapore 2010 accredited clients.

The shuttle will only ply within the Residential Zone. 2.1.3 Venue Shuttles (Competition and Training Venues) Venue shuttles are common shuttle services that provide two-way transportation for all Singapore 2010 accredited clients between each competition/training venue and the YTM; as well as between each competition venue and the CTM. Each venue shuttle route serves one or a small number of competition/training venues. Tables 2.1.3.1 and 2.1.3.2 below show the details on the route numbers. Venue shuttle buses to/from the YTM operate at a frequency of 15 minutes (peak periods) to 30 minutes (non-peak periods) for competition venues and 30 minutes for training venues. To/from the CTM, the frequency is 30 minutes for competition venues. There will be no venue shuttles travelling between the CTM and training venues. In general, venue shuttles to competition and training venues operate two to three hours before each competition/training session, up to one to two hours after. The exact operating hours will be available from all transport desks and through the Digital Concierge for Singapore 2010 and the Singapore 2010 website.

Venue-to-venue shuttle routes will skip venues if they are closed on the day of operation. More specific information on the venue-to-venue shuttle service will be available at Transport Desks during the Games. 2.1.7 MRT Shuttles (Spectator Shuttles for Competition Venues) Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) shuttles are common shuttle services primarily used to transport spectators between selected competition venues and selected MRT train stations. In this case, they are also known as spectator 16 Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games Transport Guide

shuttles. This service is also available to all accredited clients, who must present their YOIAC. For ticketed events, spectators must present their tickets to use this service. MRT shuttles (spectator shuttles) operate at a frequency of 30 minutes. Each MRT shuttle (spectator shuttle) service only operates on days when there is a competition at its designated venue. MRT shuttles (spectator shuttles) operate at the following times: from three hours before each competition to half an hour after the stated start time of the competition; and from half an hour before the stated end time of the competition to two hours after the competition. For example, if a competition at East Coast Park is from 11:00 hours to 13:30 hours, then the MRT shuttle to/from Bedok MRT Station will operate from 08:00 hours to 11:30 hours and from 13:00 hours to 15:30 hours.

In doing so, they serve as a gateway to competition venues, which are accessible via common shuttle services from the CTM. Clients need to present their YOIAC to use the hotel shuttle, and 17

may only use the service to travel to the hotel they are staying at. Hotel shuttles will operate from 06:00 to 23:59 hours daily between 6 and 28 Aug 2010.

2.3 Pooled Vehicle Services 2.3.1 Introduction Pooled vehicle services are on-demand transport services for clients whose security or operational requirements cannot be met by other transport services. Available daily between 10 and 28 Aug 2010 from 07:00 up to 23:00 hours, these services are only available to transport pass holders. 2.3.2 Transport Passes Client groups are each allocated a number of transport passes. For National Olympic Committees (NOCs), the transport passes will be managed by the CdM. Transport passes are transferable within each NOC or client group, but not between different NOCs or client groups. Lost transport passes will not be replaced. The following illustrations show the different transport passes for each client group, indicated accordingly at the top right hand corner of the pass. 2.3.3 Booking of Pooled Vehicles Each transport pass holder is entitled to the use of one pooled vehicle. This vehicle may be shared by up to four passengers, one of whom must be the 23

transport pass holder. Pooled vehicles can only be requested at the transport desks located at Singapore 2010 venues. Both the transport pass and the YOIAC must be presented for verification at the time of request. Pooled vehicles can only travel between official Singapore 2010 venues 7. These include competition and training venues, CEP venues and IOC/YOG hotels. The maximum waiting time is 30 minutes from the time the pooled vehicle is activated.

A public transport system comprising the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) network and a comprehensive network of public bus services provides easy access to all sport and nonsport venues during Games Time. Most of the competition venues are accessible by MRT, while the others are accessible by public bus. Public bus services in Singapore are operated by two major bus companies SBS Transit (www,sbstransit.com.sg) and SMRT Buses (www.smrtcorp.com). More information about Singapore s public transport system, including a link to a public transport journey planner, can be found at www.publictransport.sg, a website under the Land Transport Authority (LTA). Public transport in Singapore is represented by the following symbol: 26 Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games Transport Guide

3.1.2 Mass Rapid Transit (MRT)/Light Rail Transit (LRT) System The MRT system forms the backbone of Singapore s public transport system, spanning the entire city-state. Comprising 70 stations, the MRT system operates from approximately 05:30 hours daily, to 01:00 hours the next day. The maximum waiting time for an MRT train is 8 minutes. There are currently four MRT lines in operation: North South Line, East West Line, North East Line and Circle Line. The MRT system is also complemented by three Light Rail Transit (LRT) lines which serve mainly residential estates. All MRT/LRT station signs display the public transport symbol in addition to the appropriate MRT/LRT icon shown above. Singapore 2010 accredited clients may enjoy unlimited complimentary MRT/LRT rides daily using their Prepaid Cards (see Section 3.2) within the validity period. The card is to be tapped on the readers at fare gates when accessing the trains. When in doubt, clients are advised to enquire at the Station Control Room. Below is an overview of the MRT/LRT system in Singapore. Part of the Circle Line represented by a dotted line is undergoing construction. 27

3.1.3 Public Buses Public bus services are the most comprehensive and affordable means of public transportation, with over 300 bus services covering all parts of Singapore. Public buses call at bus stops located on the left side of the road, as well as at bus interchanges typically located near MRT stations. Singapore 2010 accredited clients enjoy complimentary travel on public buses with their Prepaid Cards (see Section 3.2) within the validity period. The card is to be tapped on the readers near the doors when boarding and alighting from the buses. When in doubt, clients are advised to enquire with the bus driver. Most bus services run from approximately 06:00 to 23:30 hours. NightRider services under SMRT Buses operate on Friday and Saturday nights and the eve of public holidays from approximately 23:30 to 04:30 hours the next day. Nite Owl services under SBS Transit operate on Friday and Saturday nights and the eve of public holidays from approximately midnight to 02:00 hours. Operating hours may vary for different bus services. 3.1.4 Public Taxi Services Over 15,000 air-conditioned public taxis ply Singapore roads. They can be flagged down 24 hours a day on most roads, with well-marked taxi stands available outside most major shopping centres and hotels. Public taxi bookings, including advance bookings, may be made by calling 6-DIAL-CAB (6-3425-222), which will automatically direct callers to the first available taxi company. Please note that public taxi services are not available free-of-charge as other forms of public transportation like buses and the MRT provide adequate access to all Singapore 2010 venues and most locations in Singapore. Payment for taxi rides is usually by cash; other modes of payment such as 29

credit card may be accepted, depending on the taxi company. The cost of a taxi ride from the suburban areas to the city centre is around SGD 10 to 15. A taxi may be hailed from the side of the road as long as it is within authorised areas to pick up passengers. However, along roads in the Central Business District (in which the IOC/YOG hotels are located) where buses ply, taxis can only pick up passengers at designated taxi stands and driveways of buildings from Mondays to Saturdays, 09:00 to 22:00 hours. It is recommended that clients who wish to hail a public taxi from a competition venue make use of the taxi stands shown in the maps at the end of this guide. It is mandatory for public taxi drivers to charge a fare based on the meter, with the addition of one or more standard surcharges. In the event of disputes, clients are advised to contact the LTA at 1800-CALL-LTA (1800-2255-582). 3.2 Complimentary Public Transport for Singapore 2010 Clients 3.2.1 Introduction Unlimited complimentary travel on public transport is provided to all Singapore 2010 accredited clients daily between 10 and 28 Aug 2010.

If an International Driving Permit is not available, an official translation of the foreign driving licence in English will be required. Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) nationals will only need to possess a valid driving licence issued by the appropriate authority in their country. 33

Foreigners who have been in Singapore for more than 12 months must have a valid Singapore driving licence to drive in Singapore. Different car rental companies may also have other requirements such as minimum age requirement. Clients should also take note that some companies may not rent cars to non-singaporeans. 3.3.3 Important Information on Car Rental It is recommended that clients who rent cars request for a GPS navigation system or a set of road maps from the rental company to assist them with navigating the roads in Singapore. They are also encouraged to enquire about the Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) scheme, an electronic gantry system imposed on certain roads at specific timings to deduct road usage fees by CashCard, as well as how to obtain parking coupons for use at certain public car parks. Depending on the car rental company, clients may need to purchase their own CashCard and parking coupons. Vehicle Access and Parking Permits (VAPPs) will not be provided for rented cars. As such, rented cars will not be allowed to enter Singapore 2010 venues and must instead be parked at public locations outside the venues. Suggested parking locations are shown on the maps in section 6. Parking fees may be levied at public car parks and, depending on the type of car park, payable by CashCard or parking coupon. Appendix 2 provides approximate driving distances between the YTM/CTM and each venue. Clients who rent cars are advised to read about the Youth Olympic Lanes, on which they will be required to give way to official Singapore 2010 vehicles, in section 2.4. 3.4 Private Transport Clients taking private transport to Singapore 2010 venues, such as getting a ride from somebody else, are reminded that they may alight anywhere outside a venue as long as it is legal for the vehicle to stop there under Singapore law, and it is outside the venue perimeter. This includes public taxi stands. Please note that VAPPs will be unavailable for vehicles that are not official Singapore 2010 vehicles (i.e. with the official livery and licence plate), meaning that they will be unable to enter the venue perimeter or secure perimeter of official Singapore 2010 venues. 4 Information for Different Client Groups 4.1 Information for Clients Staying at YOV 4.1.1 Arrival and Departure Upon arrival in Singapore, Young Olympians and Team Officials will be able to get to the YOV Welcome Centre using pre-planned transport services (section 2.2.2), which would have been confirmed based on their arrival 34 Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games Transport Guide
