For people arriving or departing on other dates, the two-way transportation cost per person will be S$40, and there must be a minimum of two people per car.

The taxi fare from the airport to the hotels listed above would be approximately S$15 to S$20 per taxi; please be aware that taxis from the airport charge a S$3 surcharge in addition to the amount shown on the taxi meter. The Airbus shuttles take you directly to most hotels for just $5 per person; Route 1 stops at the Marriott Hotel, and Route 2 stops at the Carlton Hotel and Grand Central Hotel. For more information on getting to and from Changi Airport, see Changi's Getting To & From The Airport web page or Asia Travel's How To Get From The Airport web page.

Buses will go to Echo Valley from the Carlton Hotel, the Grand Central Hotel, the New Park Hotel and the carpark next to the Newton Circus food centre from 4:30 PM to 7:30 PM on Friday (September 25th), 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM on Saturday (September 26th) and 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM on Sunday (September 27th). Buses will also take you back from Echo Valley to the Carlton Hotel, the Grand Central Hotel, the New Park Hotel and Newton Circus. See the shuttle bus schedule for more details. Bus passengers are not required to show the registration wristband, so late registrants can take the bus to Echo Valley and register at the site.

The Marriott Hotel is about a 15 minute walk from the bus pick-up and drop-off point at Newton Circus.

If you miss the buses, you can easily take a taxi to Echo Valley. Taxi drivers will not know the name "Echo Valley", but you can tell the driver "Dairy Farm Road" and you will see our banners when you get there. The taxi fare from most hotels to Dairy Farm Road would only be about US$6 or US$7.

For cheaper accomodations, try Hotel 81. The room rates at this chain of "no-frills" hotels range from S$59 upwards. Contact Hotel 81 directly, or make your reservation online. The Seletar Hash House Harriers currently do not plan to provide bus transportation to and from Hotel 81 locations, although we may consider adding buses if there are enough hashers registered at Hotel 81 locations to justify it. The Hotel 81 locations are not within walking distance of the Seletar bus pick-up points at the New Park and Carlton Hotels, but you can easily walk to the Kallang or Aljunied MRT subway stations and ride three or four stops to the City Hall MRT station, which is just opposite the Carlton Hotel.
