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 media1. 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, pre-
planned 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 pre-
planned 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.

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

22 Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games Transport Guide2.3 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
23transport 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. Advance booking of pooled vehicles is not available. 2.4 Youth Olympic Lanes Youth Olympic Lanes are marked along certain sections of Singapore expressways and major arterial roads. All motorists may travel on these lanes, but must give way to vehicles dressed in the official Singapore 2010 livery. Youth Olympic Lanes are identifiable by road markings shown below: On Youth Olympic Lanes only, all motorists, including Singapore 2010 accredited clients driving rented vehicles, must give way to vehicles dressed in livery bearing the official Singapore 2010 insignia similar, but not necessarily identical, to the following: 7 Official Singapore 2010 venues are competition and training venues, IOC/YOG hotels, CEP venues, transport malls, the Youth Olympic Games Logistics Hub, The Float@Marina Bay, the YOV and the MMC. 24 Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games Transport Guide
Buses
25Cars Reminders to give way to Singapore 2010 vehicles on the Youth Olympic Lanes, as well as details on the official Singapore 2010 vehicle livery designs, will be made known closer to the Games through the mass media. 3 Alternative Means of Transport 3.1 Singapore’s Public Transport System 3.1.1 Introduction Transportation within Singapore is mainly by land. 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 non- sport 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.
2728 Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games Transport Guide
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
29credit 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).

3.3 Car Rental
3.3.1 Introduction
Singapore 2010 accredited clients who require car rental services may refer
to the Directory of Services.
3.3.2 Requirements for Car Rental
To drive in Singapore, foreigners must possess a valid International Driving
Permit issued by an authorised body in their country of origin, e.g. the
Automobile Association, if they have resided in Singapore for less than 12
months. 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.
33Foreigners 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
