There is a Mass Rapid Transit system – the MRT. There are about 50 stations for MRT and the cost of a trip is very low. This system will you get you to almost anywhere you want to go.
There is also the LRT – a light rail service.
You can use taxis to get around. These are reliable and can go almost anywhere. When they go into a restricted area – where cars are not allowed – there is a charge which the passenger pays. Also remember that at nighttime there is a hefty surcharge on the fares.
In Singapore you can take the bus to most attractions on island as well. Your hotel is the best place to learn about buses convenient to your accommodation.
Purchase an EZ-Link card that will allow you access to them. It is a good idea to get one of these if you are planning to use the bus system and rail systems as it saves you searching for change each trip.
Another great way to see the city of Singapore is to take one of the many tours that are offered. They can take you around the city so you don’t have to worry. It’s a relaxing way to see a lot of the sights.
