Transportation in Singapore









The main modes of transportation in Singapore is Mass Rapid Transit and Buses.
They are run by the goverment. The entire country rely on these. O f course there are taxis available , but the MRT and buses have equal comfort and are comparatively cheaper.The MRT runs throught out the country and is available from 6 am to 11 pm. The payment is done through tap cards which is an advantage because we dont need to carry around coins to travel. All you have to do is purchase an EZ link card and recharge it. Then that card can be used to travel in MRT and Buses. The card needs to be tapped in order to enter the MRT and bus .When leaving the MRT also we need to tap it. Then the amount for our journey is deducted from the EZ link card.There are concessions avaible for students and senior citizens.
