The hike in taxi surcharge from S$3 to S$5 at Changi Airport will be limited to Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings from 5pm to 12am, said taxi companies and the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS). The new surcharge would take effect on 21 Apr 2000.

From 17 Apr 2000, you need to pay a surcharge of S$5 when you hop into a taxi at Changi Airport. The increase from S$3 to S$5 is meant to encourage taxis to go to the airport and alleviate the long queues there.
