Let's get around
The MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) metro system is the fastest way to get around Singapore. This underground network has lines that run the whole length of the city. However once you've landed in your chosen neighborhood, biking is your best bet. MRT also runs bus services that can take you about everywhere on the island. We caution against renting a vehicle because parking is costly and traffic is unpleasant. If you want to go by road, take a cab. The majority of visitors arrive at Singapore Changi Airport (SIN), which is connected to the city by the MRT system.
Singapore is a big city, making it impossible to see anything on foot. However, you can stroll around individual neighborhoods and get a sense of the surrounding environment and sights. The Singapore Tourism Board runs visitor centers that offer free street maps and walking tours. Another opportunity for enjoying some fresh air is to visit one of the city's many parks.
The MRT subway system is vast, safe, effective, affordable, and simple to use- anything you might expect in a public transportation system. At each station maps are open, Fares are measured based on the distance traveled and usually range from SOS1 to SG$2.50 (approximately $0.74 to $1,85). Instead of buying single-fare tickets, try purchasing an EZ-Link rechargeable card for SG$12 (approximately $9) to save money and skip ticket queues if you're staying in Singapore for an extended period.
Singapore, with a population of over 5 million Inhabitants, has a lot of traffic. Driving can be inconvenient, and parking in the city will cost you an arm and a leg.

If you just need a car, there are rental companies at the airport and in the area if you need to get there quickly, hail a taxi Taxis are relatively inexpensive. The meter charges between SG$3 and SG$5 (approximately $2.24 and $3.75) per kilometer after that and about SG$0.22 (approximately $0.16) per kilometer after that. Most drivers can speak English, so make an attempt to converse with them for local knowledge.
Buses travel across the world and can drive you wherever you need to go. That is, if you know which ones to pick. First-time travelers could be confused or perplexed by the various bus routes Fares are determined by the distance traveled the time of day, and the type of passenger (adult, children, and senior citizen fares are offered). Based on both of these aspects, you may end up paying the same amount as you would for a metro journey.
