Being an international city and a favourite tourist destination in Asia, Singapore has developed a good transport system. Once you arrive here, you would not be disappointed as getting around Singapore is easy, fast and convenient. This article presents various commuting facilities one gets while traveling moving around Singapore

MRT
The Mass Rapid Transport (MRT) is the fastest, efficient and the most convenient mode to travel around Singapore. The city has three MRT main lines – the East-West line from Changi Airport/Pasir Ris to Boon Lay, the North-East line from Harbour Front to Punggol and the North-South line from Marina Bay to Jurong East. With around 1.564 million rides daily, the MRT can be called the main backbone of the public transport in Singapore. You can get them from about 5.30 am. The last train time is before 1 am.

Buses
If you want to save money in traveling then opt for bus-travel. Buses are the most affordable means of transport in Singapore. Their services begin at 6o’clock in morning to midnight and they ply on most routes in the city. Even if you are new to the place, you would not face any problem as different destinations and their related fares are displayed at most of the bus stations.

SBS Transit and SMRT Corporation are two main public transport providers catering to the needs of around two million rides as taken daily. Even night traveling is easy in Singapore as SMRT Buses provide comfortable night services too.

Taxis
Travel any corner of Singapore and you find metered and air-conditioned taxis available most of the time. The city has around 15,000 air-conditioned cabs and taxis to help you with hassle-free travel. Remember you will have to pay surcharge during peak hours and from midnight to 6 a.m. These taxis can be called at your residence or hotel room as well. Major shopping centers and hotels also have authorized taxi-stands outside their premises and it really makes the traveling easy in Singapore.

Cars
If you want to explore the city on your own then you can hire a car. Much better if you possess the permit for an international driving! At the same time you should be well-aware that hiring a car might be a costlier affair in Singapore, so using the public transport is a better option. Public transport will also save you from facing the parking problem which too is a big concern there.
