Smooth sailing on first day of Changi Airport T1 carpark closure
Some 50 marshals have been deployed at both airport terminals to help guide drivers.
The permanent closure of Changi Airport's Terminal 1 (T1) carpark came into effect without a hitch yesterday, after kinks were ironed out in a trial closure last month.
There was no sign of confusion when The Straits Times visited the airport between 8am and 10.30am. Traffic was smooth at both T1 and Terminal 2 (T2), where a replacement carpark was located. Drivers interviewed said the road signs and lane markings were clear and that it was easy to find their way around.
Taxi driver Abdul Razak, 56, said he found his way to the new carpark easily, despite taking a wrong turn.
"I didn't know the carpark will be closed from today and so just blindly took my usual route to the old T1 carpark," he said.
