Dear RoboCup 2010 Participants,


Kick-off for RoboCup 2010 is only a week away! We hope that your team?s
preparations for the competitions are going well. While looking at
delivering a unique RoboCup 2010 experience, we would also like to draw
your attention to the following guidelines pertaining to logistics and
other issues. The following information will make your stay in Singapore
more pleasurable.


1) Transportation


The public transportation system in Singapore is exteamly convenient. You
can either hop on to buses or trains (MRT) and locate your destinations
easily.


The competition venue (Suntec International Convention and Exhibition
Center) is accessible by both MRT and bus. The nearest MRT station is
Esplanade station. Alternatively, you can also alight at City Hall
interchange station. A 10 minutes? walk via the underground City Link Mall
will lead you directly to the competition venue.


Bus services to Suntec are: 36, 97, 106, 111, 133, 501, 502, 518, 857, and
700. You may alight right in front of the Convention Centre.


Changi international airport is also easily accessible by public
transportation. The MRT station is located at the basement of Terminals 2
and 3. The bus service 36 has stops at Terminals 1, 2, and 3. For more
information on Changi airport please refer to http://www.changiairport.com


For your own convenience, we recommend you purchase an EZ-link card which
can be used both for bus and MRT. It can be purchased at any MRT station.
