If you are driving from Katong to Singapore Flyer, start by heading west on East Coast Road. Continue straight, and then take a left turn onto the Pan Island Expressway (PIE).

Public Bus
To reach Singapore Flyer by bus, locate the nearest bus stop in Katong. Take bus number 36 or 43 from the bus stop. The journey will take approximately 30-40 minutes. Disembark at the bus stop 'Marina Centre Terminal.' From there, it’s a short 10-minute walk to the Singapore Flyer. Head towards Raffles Avenue, and you’ll see the Flyer as you approach.
