Where to Park for IT Show 2014 (Cheapest & Most Damaging Carparks Revealed)
Where to Park for IT Show 2014 (Cheapest & Most Damaging Carparks Revealed)
For those who are driving to the IT Show, parking is always a nightmare at tech shows but it’s doubly so at Marina Bay Sands because of the high parking rates. So here are some other alternative parking areas (be warned though that you will either have to walk, take a shuttle bus or the MRT).
And while certain places may have lower parking rates, do take note that parking lots may be limited in those areas (especially at MBS itself).
Esplanade
If the weather is kind, you could always park at the Esplanade and enjoy the walk over the Helix Bridge to MBS.
Gardens by the Bay
If you don’t mind the heat, you could always park at Gardens by the Bay and walk over to the show venue.
Marina Square
You can either walk to Marina Bay Sands (about a 15-minute walk), or walk over to Suntec City and hop onto the free shuttle bus service.
Marina Bay Financial Centre
For those who would prefer a shorter walk to MBS itself, there’s always the Marina Bay Financial Centre, which is less than a 10-minute walk from MBS.
Millenia Walk
If you don't wish to walk to far for a train station, you could always park at Millenia Walk and walk to the Promenade station.
Suntec City
Alternatively you can park at Suntec City itself and take the free shuttle bus service to MBS. And if you can’t get onto the shuttle bus, there’s always the MRT, with the Esplanade or Promenade stations both near Suntec City, depending on which part of Suntec City you are at.
Shuttle Bus Timings from Suntec City:
• First bus leaves Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre to Suntec City at 11 AM
• Last bus leaves Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre to Suntec City at 10.30 PM
• There’s a 15-minute interval between buses
