Singapore Transport

Singapore Transport is always so easy, cheap and convenient to travel around in this small country. Strongly encourage to explore around the places using public transport, so that you can get to see the live of the people and it's culture.

Most of the public transport stop at the location near the hotels, shopping area, popular food area and most of the tourist attraction. As when I start to introduce those places in my coming blog, I will indicate what the best in using the transport and where to stop at the location. So stay tune on my blog.

3 of the main transport provider are the:

1)Bus service (name as SBS)

2)MRT (local train)

There are 2 local train provider, SMRT & SBSTransit. Fast and convenient. Check the website for more info on where and how to alight or stop at the locations and also the fares price.

3)Taxis

Like most of the country, it travel and stop where you like or request. Can hail a taxis at the taxis stand or along the roadside. Of course the money spent will be much more higher than taking the other two transport.
