close Guide for Foreign Media Getting Around Taxis Travelling by taxi is relatively inexpensive in Singapore. They can be flagged down, booked in advance or boarded at any taxi stand around the city. All taxis are fitted with electronic fare-meters. Additionally, private-hire car services operating under apps such as Uber and Grab are also available in Singapore. Mass Rapid Transit The Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) is a modern, air-conditioned passenger train service with stations all over the city. Operating from 6.00 am to midnight, the trains are frequent and prompt, arriving at intervals of between 3 to 8 minutes, thus providing quick access to places around Singapore. Buses Public buses are the cheapest form of transport in Singapore. The two main bus operators in Singapore, SBS Transit Ltd and SMRT operate regular bus services from 6.00 am to midnight, and reach not only all parts of the island, but also into Johor Bahru, West Malaysia. Cash paying commuters have to drop the exact fare into the farebox. No change will be given. Alternatively, fares can also be paid the cheaper and cashless way with the Ez-Link Card on all SBS Transit and SMRT buses. Ez-Link farecards, for use on buses and the MRT, can be purchased from TransitLink sales offices at selected MRT stations and bus interchanges. Information on bus and MRT fares and routes is available in TransitLink guidebooks, available at bookshops and news stands. Alternatively, you may visit the TransitLink website.
