Public Transport
Singapore has one of the most extensive and efficient public transportation systems in the
world. Travelling in the city and suburbs is typically a quick and affordable affair.
The Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) operates a network of trains serving 51 stations.
Trains operate from 5.30am -12.30am daily, every three to eight minutes.
A ride on the MRT from Singapore Changi Airport to the city takes less than half an hour.
A copy of A Quick Guide to MRT Travel can be obtained from the Station Control Rooms at all MRT stations.
Public buses run daily from 5.30am - midnight. Extended night services cost slightly more.
Rides on the MRT cost from 80 cents to S$1.80.
For travel on the MRT, you need to purchase a one-trip fare card.
Public buses accept cash. The recommended mode of payment for both the MRT and public buses
is using the EZ-link card which is a stored-value card giving discounted fare for multiple rides.
The EZ-link card may be purchased and topped up at most MRT stations and bus interchanges.
Each adult card is sold with a minimum value of S$10 plus a deposit of S$5. The Transitlink Guide gives detailed
information on both the MRT and bus services and is available at $1.50 from most MRT stations, bus interchanges
and major bookstores.
