Getting into Singapore
- MRT East-West Line, Changi Airport branch (SIN). Runs through tunnels, where a signal drops
Underground and on the metro
Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) runs 6 lines. It opened in 1987. The operator states mobile coverage throughout the tunnels.
Worth knowing about Singapore
- Mobile phone, 3G, 4G and 5G service is available in every part of the MRT network, including the underground sections.
- The airport MRT station is a shuttle branch: passengers must change trains at Tanah Merah to continue into the city on the main East-West Line.
- Changi Airport MRT station is underground, built 18.5 m below the surface, so signal only returns once you surface or the in-tunnel coverage picks you up.
- Changi has four operating passenger terminals with a fifth under construction; terminal transfers matter for where you land relative to the MRT station.
