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

For your own convenience, we recommend you purchase an EZ-link card
