Getting around<br />
<strong>Singapore</strong>’s transportation system makes getting around easy<br />
Airport transfer<br />
Taxis are abundant at the airport and<br />
a trip to the city costs around $20-25,<br />
plus surcharges. Several companies<br />
provide the airport transfer services,<br />
which you can book even before you<br />
travel to <strong>Singapore</strong>, a half or full day<br />
in advance. Among them are Limo Taxi<br />
(www.limomaxi.com) and Limousine<br />
Cab (www.limousinecab.com), best<br />
booked for groups of four and above.<br />
Fares start from $45 and surcharges<br />
apply for rides to and from the airport.<br />
Taxi<br />
You should be able to hail a cab<br />
without any problems in most par ts of<br />
<strong>Singapore</strong>, but bear in mind: vehicles<br />
are not allowed to wait or even stop<br />
on roads with painted double yellow<br />
jagged lines. It is always best to<br />
get a cab from one of the numerous<br />
taxi stands in <strong>Singapore</strong> – hotels and<br />
shopping centre taxi stands are a<br />
sure bet.<br />
The city’s major cab companies are:<br />
CityCab (+65) 6552 1111<br />
Premier Taxis (+65) 6476 8880<br />
Maxi Cab (+65) 6535 3534<br />
SMRT Taxis (+65) 6555 8888<br />
Bus<br />
Bus services operate all around<br />
<strong>Singapore</strong>, including less accessible<br />
areas and a handy bus service called<br />
the Nite Owl, which operates on<br />
Fridays, Saturdays and the eve of<br />
Public Holidays. Fares are distancebased<br />
and typically costs under $2.<br />
Most buses are equipped with airconditioning.<br />

you’re lost, ask one for directions!<br />
MRT<br />
The Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system is<br />
probably the fastest way to get around<br />
<strong>Singapore</strong> besides taxis. Besides being<br />
one of the cleanest transport systems in<br />
the world, the MRT provides scenic views<br />
of <strong>Singapore</strong>’s heartland and some city<br />
areas, though you may want to avoid peak<br />
hours for a smoother ride. Download the<br />
unofficial MRT map from yoursingapore.<br />
com/getlost (under Plan your trip) to uncover<br />
the hidden gems behind the stops.<br />
The EZ-Link card (a stored-value card) is a<br />
fuss-free way to travel on trains and buses.<br />
For buses, just tap the card on the reader<br />
as you board and remember to tap out when<br />
you alight. EZLink cards can be purchased<br />
or topped up at MRT stations island-wide.<br />
