Singapore’s public transport system is one of the best in the world, so you should have no problem finding your way around like local people. There are three main forms of public transport that you would find in any other major city—trains, buses and taxis.

TRAINS
Trains run from 6 a.m. to midnight. Single trip tickets start at 80 cents(分). If you buy an EZ-Link card for $15, you can ride the trains and buses all you like.
If you need more information, just call Transit Link on 1800 767 4333.

BUSES
There are several bus services in Singapore and fares start at 80 cents. Be sure to always ask the driver the cost of your ticket because he can not give changes.
If you need help, just call Transit Link on 1800 767 4333.

TAXIS
There are three main taxi companies—City Cab (6552 2222), Comfort (6552 1111) and Tibs (6552 8888). Booking (预订) can also be made easily by calling the numbers listed above.

RENTAL (租) CARS
Driving in Singapore is a pleasure and if you like to travel on your own, renting a car is a good choice. Renting takes away the hassle of getting to places around Singapore. Just sit back and enjoy the city. It also means you’ll get to see a lot more that a train or a bus won’t let you see.
