Public Transportation
If you are in Geylang, you can take the MRT (Mass Rapid Transit). Head to the nearest MRT station, which is usually Aljunied MRT Station (EW9). From Aljunied, board the East West Line train towards Pasir Ris. Alight at the 6th stop, which is City Hall MRT Station (EW13/NS25). Once you exit the station, follow the signs to the Exit A, which leads to the Raffles City Shopping Centre. From there, you can walk along the riverside promenade towards Clarke Quay, located approximately 15 minutes away on foot. The walk is scenic and takes you along the Singapore River.
Taxi/Private Car
For a more direct route, consider taking a taxi or using a ride-hailing service like Grab. Simply provide the driver with the address: 3 River Valley Rd, Singapore 179024. The journey can take approximately 15-20 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. Be aware that taxi fares will vary based on distance and time, and there may be additional charges during peak hours.
Bus
Another option is to take the bus. Look for bus stops along Geylang Road where you can catch bus number 63 or 67. Board the bus and alight at the stop named 'Opposite Clarke Quay MRT.' From there, it’s just a short walk to Clarke Quay. Make sure to have an EZ-Link card or cash ready for the bus fare, which is typically around SGD 1.50.
