Shuttle service to Sentosa

Shuttle service to Sentosa in the works

Visitors to Sentosa island could soon hop onto coaches from Changi Airport, Orchard Road and Marina areas, to various drop-off points on the island.

The Sentosa Development Corporation has called for a tender for "experienced and established coach operators" to operate a shuttle service network from March 1, as new attractions and Resorts World Sentosa come on board next year.

Slated to open by November next year, the 620-metre long Sentosa Boardwalk - designed to carry 8,000 guests per hour, in each direction - will allow visitors to walk onto the island.

On Tuesday, two new trains were added to the Sentosa Express fleet, raising its total carrying capacity to 4,000 guests per hour, in each direction.

Island entry has also been made easier - guests can now tap their way into Sentosa with their ez-link cards when they connect to the monorail at VivoCity, and skip the step of buying separate admission tickets.
