Transport in Singapore

Travelling around Singapore is both easy and efficient thanks to its great public transport facilities. You have the option of travelling by MRT, SMRT, bus, private car, taxis and foot to explore the sights, sounds and smells of this vibrant city.

Buying an ez-link card is all it takes to guarantee the freedom to hop on and off wherever you choose from the bus and MRT services. Another alternative is to purchase a Singapore Tourist Pass, an all-day pass that offers tourists unlimited travel on Singapore’s MRT trains and public buses. Buy a 1, 2 or 3 day pass which come complete with promotional offers and benefits at various retailers.

Singapore Mass Rapid Transit (MRT)

The Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) is a modern, cheap, air conditioned and speedy train service that operates all over the island. Pick up A Quick Guide to MRT Travel from the Station Control Room to help make life a little easier. There are three main lines –

North-South Line – from Marina Bay to Jurong East
East-West Line – Changi Airport / Pasir Ris to Boon Lay
North-East Line – Harbour front to Punggol

The MRT is a great way to travel from Changi Airport to the city centre (or you can get an airport transfer). The trip takes approximately 27 minutes and operates at an average frequency of 12 minutes. The cost for a single trip from the Changi Airport to City Hall Station is SGD $1.40. To use the MRT you must purchase an ez-link card or use the Singapore Tourist Pass. Ez-link cards can be bought or revalued at any TransitLink Ticket Sales Office which are located in most MRT stations and bus interchanges.
