Getting Around Singapore

Overview

Singapore has one of the world's best public transport systems — clean, punctual, air-conditioned, and covers virtually the entire island.

Metro

MRT with 6 lines covering the whole island. Runs 5:30am–midnight. Fares SGD $0.92–2.54.

Bus

Extensive bus network reaching areas the MRT doesn't. Same EZ-Link card works on buses.

Taxi

Metered taxis available citywide. Surcharges apply during peak hours and from the CBD.

Rideshare

Grab dominates. Gojek is also available. Usually cheaper than taxis.

Bicycle

SG Bike and other rental apps. Cycling paths are expanding but road cycling requires caution.

Walkability

Very walkable in the CBD and tourist areas. Covered walkways protect from rain and sun.

Travel card

EZ-Link card (works on MRT and bus) or Singapore Tourist Pass (1/2/3 day unlimited travel).
