  today's Zaobao.. RWS & Changi Airport <> Kota Raya confirmed taken by Transtar.. to start from Friday.

  Fares is RM5/ S$5 (Turns out $3 is section fare from Whitley Rd). Changi is RM7/ S$7.

  So next to the entrance is the stairs, and in between the BC cabin and stairs is the walkway to the first level of the bus? And the bus did stop at every destination which is on the board?

  yes there's a walkway directly to the lower deck seats behind. but the back half of the stairs links back to the lower deck too (for those from upper deck to alight at rear door). so the stairs are accessible from both front and back doors.
