Legally Ion Ochard is outside CBD , by right cannot .

But by left ...... Ignoring You , if u dare .

Taxi drivers can do anything , but don't get caught , pants will drop .

Just go Wisma la .... press $3 guarantee no problem .

I'm sorry but I have to correct u guys, Ion Orchard Building actually falls inside City Area.

According to the latest street directory (Mighty Minds 2010 edition), Ion Orchard Building is drawn in as part of city area. Its taxi stand is inside the building itself.

mr p , the gantry is the way we see whether it's inside cbd or outside cbd .

U go in from Orchard Boulevard into the taxi stand , which u did not pay any ERP , so as in outside CBD .

Map is map .

The landmark is the gantry .

Wisma Atria ..... why inside CBD ? Next door of Ion ?

Cos of the ERP gantry .
