Public transport is easy, cheap, safe and reliable in Singapore. Purchase an RFID
EZ-Link or Nets Flash Pay card from
one of these locations. This stored-value card can be topped up at
Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) stations, most ATM machines and 7-Eleven convenience stores, and are valid for use on
public buses and the MRT – which is really all you need to get ’round Singapore. Familiarise yourself with the
MRT map so you won’t hit a bumper while attempting to switch between different train lines – or approach a uniformed staff at train stations for help. If you’re keener on taxi services, ride-hailing app
Grab is a great alternative, with instant and advance booking options at generally reasonable prices. To avoid getting caught in a jam, we recommend sticking to public transport during peak hours: 8am to 9am, and 6pm to 7.30pm.
