SINGAPORE - Waiting almost three hours for a taxi ride from the Singapore Airshow to her hotel was not something Ms Inga Duglas, a senior corporate executive, expected after attending the first day of the show on Feb 20.

When she eventually got into a taxi, her fare from Changi Exhibition Centre, where the show is taking place till Feb 25, to central Singapore at 7.30pm came to $120, said Ms Duglas, expressing surprise her ride would be “so expensive”.

“I was hungry, thirsty and exhausted,” the 38-year-old told The Straits Times on the evening of Feb 21.

Some said they had to endure several kilometres of crawling traffic into the exhibition centre due to reduced access to Aviation Park Road and Tanah Merah Coast Road, and the inability to secure private-hire car and taxi rides to and from Changi Exhibition Centre.

When can you ever expect the overpaid ministers to organise anything reasonable well ?

Almost all visitors to the air show are on business purposes and can jolly well expense their taxi fares so what is the problem?

What's the big fuck about the Airshow? A large part involves RSAF trying to impress by showcasing their latest aircrafts and air defence weapons.

Heathrow is located further out. I believe changi standard taxi fare into town is less than $40.

As usual, very poor planning!

Remember the CNY dragon light show at MBS, almost caused human stampede until a lady wrote in then they started crowd control.
No foresight of the leaders.
