Getting Around Singapore: Guide to Public Transportation

Calvin Chan Wai Meng/Getty Images

Singapore's unfair advantage lies in its small size: the ultra-efficient government has been able to put together a public transport system that makes moving from point A to point B a completely effortless task. That means tourists looking to shop at Orchard Road in the morning, go to Singapore Zoo in the afternoon and make their late evening flight at Changi Airport can ride a bus or MRT and get to each place on time, almost without any friction or delay.

Luckily, the efficiency means that it's easy to ride Singapore’s public transportation system like a local from the minute you touch down. Here's how.

How to Ride the MRT

Singapore's Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) was launched in 1987 and has grown continuously to cover most parts of Singapore, from its residential suburbs to its business and heritage hotspots to Changi Airport.

Six lines and some 130 stations snake throughout the island. Each of the stations has a name based on the line and a sequential number: the North-South Line’s Orchard Station, for instance, bears the station code NS22.

Interchanges throughout the MRT network allow travelers to change lines without exiting the paid area, though some of the more recently-built crossings force commuters to walk long distances from one track to another.  

To get a clearer idea of the MRT system’s range, look at the official MRT network map .

• Hours: The MRT operates from 5:30 a.m. to midnight, but operating hours are usually extended during holidays and other special seasons. The MRT’s train frequency varies, generally arriving in 2-3 minute intervals during peak hours from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., to intervals of 5-7 minutes during the rest of the day.
• Fares: Prices are based on the distance covered, ranging from .83 to 1.25 Singapore dollars (around 60 to 90 cents). Use the Singapore Land Transport Authority Fare Calculator to estimate fares between stops.
• Ticketing: Both train and bus fares use a stored-value, contactless smart card called the EZ-Link Pass. To enter and exit the paid area, tap the card on the gantry; a screen will show the EZ-Link Pass’ remaining value.
• Where to Get Passes: You can buy EZ-Link Passes at MRT Stations, bus terminals, and 7-Eleven stores. Single-journey passes are also available. Read our article about Singapore’s EZ-Link Pass for more details on Singapore’s contactless transit cards.
• Accessibility: MRT stations have been designed from the ground up for accessibility, with ramps, elevators and barrier-free access; wheelchair-accessible toilets; and trains with wheelchair-accessible carriages. Allowances for visually-impaired and deaf riders—from Braille plates in elevators to strategically-placed signage and lights—have been made where possible. Read the Singapore Tourism Board’s official page on their accessibility accommodations.
• Getting to Changi Airport: Ride to Tanah Merah Interchange (EW4), where you can transfer to a train that goes directly to Changi Airport (CG2).

To plan your route, you can download and access a number of free apps or websites that let you input Point A and B, and generate a travel plan based on both points.

Singapore’s Land Transport Authority has MyTransport , which lets you customize a trip based on your favorite transport services. Meanwhile, CityMapper and GoThere.sg both offer trip planning functionality for both mobile and desktop, with slightly different graphic user interfaces. 

MRT-Accessible Tourist Attractions in Singapore

Once you’ve made sense of the MRT, ride the rails to any one of these key MRT-accessible stops in Singapore:

• Botanic Gardens: Singapore’s only UNESCO World Heritage Site can be easily reached through the Botanic Gardens Interchange (CC19/DT9) that straddles the Downtown Line and Circle Line.
• Chinatown: Singapore’s Chinese ethnic enclave is most easily reached via Raffles Place Interchange (EW14/NS26), Outram Park Station (EW16), or Chinatown Station (NE4). Read about Singapore’s ethnic enclaves.
• Kampong Glam: to get to Singapore’s main Muslim cultural center, take the MRT’s East-West Line to Bugis Station (EW12).
• Little India: Singapore’s Indian enclave can be reached by taking the North-East Line’s Little India Interchange (NE7/DT12) and Farrer Park Station (NE8).
• Marina Bay: You can visit Marina Bay and nearby attractions through Raffles Place Interchange (EW14/NS26), City Hall Interchange (NS25/EW13) Marina Bay Interchange (NS27/CE2/TS20), Bayfront Interchange (CE1/DT16), Promenade Interchange (CC4/DT15), and Esplanade Station (CC3).
• Orchard Road: Singapore’s primary retail hotspot can be reached through Dhoby Ghaut Interchange (CC1/NE6/NS24), Orchard Interchange (NS22/TE14), and Somerset Station (NS23). Read about shopping in Singapore .
• Sentosa: Singapore’s resort island can be reached by taking either the North-East Line or the Circle Line to HarbourFront Interchange (NE1/CC29), then ascending to the attached VivoCity Mall, where you can then ride the Sentosa Express people-mover to the island.
• Singapore Zoo: Ride the North-South Line to Khatib Station (NS14); from here, you can take the Mandai Khatib Shuttle to Singapore Zoo .

Riding Singapore’s Bus System

Singapore’s MRT may be fast, but the bus system has a better range. It's an extensive network that reaches all across the island, covering far-flung public housing estates too far to reach by train.

Two bus lines operate in Singapore: SBS Transit ( sbstransit.com.sg ) and SMRT Buses ; buses run throughout the island from 5:30 a.m. to midnight, with frequencies ranging from five to 30 minutes.

After midnight, extended night transport services ( Nite Owl from SBS, NightRider from SMRT) cover abbreviated routes throughout Singapore until 2 a.m.

Like the MRT, Singapore’s buses use the EZ-Link Pass for electronic ticketing. You can also pay in cash, exact change only.

The same apps that can plan your MRT trip also help plot out your bus trip, too: MyTransport, CityMapper, and GoThere.sg can program an itinerary using both public transportation methods based on your point of origin and planned destination. 

Riding Singapore’s Taxis and Ride Shares

Taxis are numerous in Singapore, though they are considerably more expensive. Look for a marked taxi queue stand to catch a cab, or summon one either by calling their number or by using their smartphone app to pick you up at your location.

Here are a few taxi phone numbers worth remembering, to use when you’re in Singapore:

• Comfort Transportation: (+65) 6552 1111
• CityCab: (+65) 6555 1188
• SMRT Taxis: (+65) 6555 8888
• Trans-Cab Services: (+65) 6287 6666

The two most commonly-used taxi apps are Comfort DelGro and Cabify/Easytaxi . Grab is Singapore’s ridesharing app. If you’re in a hurry, you can open up the app to order the nearest Grab car or taxi to pick you up and then drop you off where you need to be.

Taxi and Ride-Share Prices and Surcharges

Taxis and ride-shares have a complicated pricing scheme, due to congestion charges and other surcharges, which were instituted by the Singapore government to minimize congestion on the roads.

For example: on a regular, non-premium taxi ride, expect to pay between 3.20-3.90 Singapore dollars (around $2.50) for the first kilometer, then an additional 0.22 Singapore dollars (around 15 cents) for every 400 meters up to 10 kilometers, and every 350 meters beyond.  

Additional surcharges will be tacked onto your fare if the following conditions are met:

Travel during peak periods: A peak period taxi surcharge of 25 percent of your metered fare applies if you’re riding a taxi from 6 a.m. to 9:30 a.m on weekdays (excluding Singapore public holidays), and 6 p.m. to 12 a.m.;

Travel after midnight: A midnight surcharge of 50 percent of your metered fare applies for taxi travel from 12 a.m. to 6 a.m.

Travel from certain areas: A location-based taxi surcharge applies for taxi trips departing from certain areas at certain times. These include:

• Central Business District (5 p.m. to 11:59 p.m.): 3 Singapore dollars
• Marina Bay Sands (6 a.m. to 4:59 p.m., Sundays and public holidays): 3 Singapore dollars
• Changi Airport (5 p.m. to 11:59 p.m., Friday to Sunday): 5 Singapore dollars;
• Resorts World Sentosa, Gardens by the Bay, Tanah Merah Ferry: 3 Singapore dollars at any time

Travel through certain areas: Congestion penalties called ERP charges apply if you pass under an ERP gantry in your taxi. Rates vary depending on the location.

Payment using a credit card: For credit card payments, taxis add an extra 10 percent administrative fee.

All these charges add up to something fierce. That’s why we suggest using the bus or MRT at all times, and use the taxi only if you can avoid paying the surcharges listed here.

Tips for First-Time Commuters in Singapore

• Rush hour is the enemy. Trains are packed to the gills, bus queues lengthen considerably, and taxis impose surcharges that can almost double the fare. Avoid traveling from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. on public transport whenever possible
• EZ-Link Pass—don’t leave home without it. It’s the Swiss Army Knife of cards in Singapore —you can use it on buses and trains; you can pay for purchases with it in select stores, and its cool design makes it a nice souvenir to take home with you!
• Buy a local SIM card for your out-of-network phone. For every aspect of your Singapore commute—from leaving Changi Airport to hailing a cab to planning a trip on public transportation, there’s an app to help you every step of the way. You should get a generous data plan to work with all the apps we’ve listed above, so buy a local SIM card (assuming your phone works with Singapore’s 4G network ), download the apps you need, and commute like a local.

How to use public transportation to get around in Singapore

Know your Mass Rapid Transit from your public bus with this guide to getting around Singapore © mentatdgt / Shutterstock

Singapore ’s extensive public transportation system makes navigating this compact country a breeze. 

While the cost of living makes Singapore one of the more expensive countries to visit, you might be able to save a little by learning how to make full use of its bus and subway networks. Stretch your budget and see more of this beautiful nation with our guide to getting around Singapore.

Get around Singapore easily on the MRT

Singapore’s subway system or the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) is the most convenient way for travelers to get around cheaply and easily. Hopping on the MRT lets you avoid traffic jams, though platforms can get quite crowded during the morning and evening rush hours. 

Navigating the MRT is quite straightforward for anyone used to a city metro. Currently, there are six MRT lines each marked with a distinct color, while stations are assigned numbers for easy identification – see the SMRT Journey Planner for the latest updates . Station signage and announcements are in the four official languages: English, Chinese, Malay and Tamil.

There are several smaller, driverless Light Rail Transit (LRT) systems that tourists are unlikely to encounter as they mostly serve residential neighborhoods. The Sentosa Express is a monorail line that connects from Vivocity Shopping Centre in Harbourfront to the offshore island of Sentosa.

See the sights on a budget with the public bus network

The public bus network is another cheap option for getting around Singapore. While you may get stuck in peak-hour traffic jams, taking the bus is a more scenic way to enjoy the journey. It can also offer direct connections on routes that may require multiple changes on the MRT.

Singapore’s bus network is extensive and covers most of the island, with frequencies typically from 10–20 minutes. Bus stops have a unique ID number to help you identify where to stop, and most bus stops will have some route information at the bus stop itself. Google Maps is fairly accurate when planning a bus route; other apps you can use include Citymapper and MyTransport.sg on Android or Apple .

Opt for free shuttle buses

There are some private shuttle bus services that may be more convenient than public buses. Notable ones for tourists include the free shuttle bus lines that go around Sentosa Island , the weekend Kranji Farms Shuttle to explore Kranji Countryside, and the Mandai Khatib Shuttle that goes from Khatib MRT Station to the various parks at Mandai Wildlife Reserve.

Get a transport pass or tap in/out with a local app

To use the public buses or MRT in Singapore, you will need to purchase a stored value card ( EZ-Link Card ) available at all MRT stations and bus interchanges. Alternatively, the SimplyGo initiative allows you to use your contactless debit or credit card to pay for public transport without registration required – just tap your phone, smartwatch or physical card.

The fares for traveling via bus or MRT in Singapore are calculated based on distance so make sure to tap in and tap out to ensure you are charged the correct fare. There are no single-trip tickets for the MRT, but you can use cash to pay on the bus – you will need exact change to pay for your fare. A helpful online fare calculator can provide estimated fare prices.

For tourists, you can consider the Singapore Tourist Pass which allows for unlimited rides on the public bus and MRT for 1–3 days.

Shared bicycles are good for short distances

There are shared bicycles with multiple locations to pick up and return, like  SG Bike and Anywheel , that can be accessed via an app. This is a cheap and green alternative to taking the bus or MRT, but best for covering shorter distances as the bicycles are quite basic.

While cycling has gained popularity in recent years, most of Singapore’s roads have not been built to accommodate bicycles, which can make road cycling challenging for those unfamiliar with the local driving culture. Also, the tropical humidity and sudden downpours can make cycling in Singapore less than pleasant.

Many of Singapore’s green spaces and parks have bike rental kiosks. East Coast Park , Bukit Timah Nature Reserve , Marina Bay , Sentosa and Pulau Ubin are popular spots to explore on two wheels.

Ride in comfort via taxi

If time is of the essence or you’re traveling in the wee hours of the morning, taxis may be a more comfortable way to get around Singapore. Taxis do cost more but can be economical if traveling in a small group.

Official taxis in Singapore have a small electronic "Taxi" sign on the roof. You can hail a cab along the road in suburban areas, but taxis are only allowed to stop at proper taxi stands in the Central Business District area. They are particularly hard to find when it is raining.

Standard taxi fares are distance-based, but there are many add-on surcharges based on when you ride, where you hail the cab and whether there are tolls on the route taken. All taxis in Singapore use the meter so there’s no haggling involved, and cash is the preferred method of payment. Some cabs may accept credit card payments but there is an additional 10% service fee and tax.

Book a rideshare for convenience

Rideshares are an alternative to taxis if you have a local data plan and access to the apps. You can usually book and pay through the app, but you may also be subject to surge pricing during peak hours.

Grab is the largest rideshare company in Singapore – there is no Uber or Lyft here. Other players in the market include Gojek , TADA and carpooling app Ryde . Taxis can be booked via Zig or via the rideshare apps.

There's no real need to drive in Singapore

Given Singapore’s small size and good public transport network, there is no real need for tourists to rent a car to explore the city . Most of the main sights are in the downtown area and well connected by MRT or bus, and for more out-of-the-way spots, calling a taxi or rideshare is much easier and economical than renting a car where you have to factor in the costs of fuel, road tolls and expensive parking.

There are car-sharing options like BlueSG , TribeCar or GetGo that you can consider if you really must drive – note that vehicles in Singapore drive on the left side of the road.

Sail to Singapore’s outer islands on the public ferry

You can charter a private boat to explore Singapore’s offshore islands, but the public ferry is the cheapest way to access them. To get to Pulau Ubin in the northeast, head to Changi Point Ferry Terminal where there are small bumboats that take you to the island in just 10 minutes. 

If you want to explore the Southern Islands ( St John’s Island , Lazarus Island and Kusu Island ), Singapore Island Cruise and Marina South Ferries both run regular ferry services from Marina South Ferry Terminal.

Accessible transportation in Singapore

Most of the buses and trains in Singapore have spaces and ramps equipped for strollers, wheelchairs and personal mobility aids, as well as marked priority seats for those who need them. Train stations and bus stops are barrier-free with at least one entrance that is accessible, and staff are trained to provide assistance if necessary.

For taxis, there are specialized transportation services with wheelchair-accessible vehicles and medically trained drivers such as Strides Care and Caring Fleet .

Singapore MRT

Singapore is popularly known as the Garden City of Southeast Asia which, due to its size, is easy to navigate and only takes a short time to get from North to South, or East to West.

Aside from taxis, the most common mode of transportation in Singapore is the MRT , also known as the “Mass Rapid Transit” system.

Singapore MRT, Ticket Prices & Fares, Maps & Routes

All trains are air-conditioned and are well maintained. The North-East line operated by SBS is also an automated underground rail system which operates from Punggol to Harbourfront . Aside from being one of the most modern MRT systems in the world, the advanced features of the trains make them some of the safest in the world.

One of the unique features also of the Singapore MRT system is the use of destination numbers instead of usual line numbers. The train lines are also distinguished by colour: The Green Line travels east/west, the Red Line travels north/south. Like most train operators, a contactless smartcard required for each passenger which is scanned when entering or exiting the station.

Although fare prices vary depending on the boarding and alighting stations, you can store money on these cards in order to take multiple journeys over your extended stay. A single trip for an adult start from $1.40 and can be purchased from ticket machines at the stations. Usually, the train operation starts daily at 5.30am and runs until midnight with peak hours between 7am to 9am.

Announcements are made in English as is all signage. To get to and from Changi Airport , you can take the East/West (green) line. Simply follow the signs from the arrivals hall to the MRT. You can purchase a one-way ticket with cash or credit for about $1.40 each way. Take the train and get off at the second stop ‘Tanah Merah’, you need to interchange here and it is extremely simple as the ongoing train is just across the platform. The train will continue on the green line heading towards the city. If you need to get on a Purple Line, you can change at Bugis . If you need to get on a Red Line, change at City Hall . A one-way train trip from City Hall to Changi Airport only takes around 15 minutes.

Is there a map which shows where MRT is overground & underground? One of our party doesn’t like tube trains.

I have searched online for a map that illustrates this, but unfortunately, there doesn’t appear to be anything that strays away from the standard map.

Based on other people’s feedback, they state that “all stations and tracks within Orchard, Marina and the Central Business District area are underground”. So it’s to say that if you are within the popular business direct area, the train station will be underground.

Thanks Michael

Where is the nearest MRT station to suntec city

Although Esplanade and Promenade on the Circle Line look to be equal distance from Suntec City, i would recommend using Promenade as the walk will be much quicker.

Getting off at Esplanade would require you to wait for the lights or use the overpass in order to get over Nicoll Hwy.

But it all depends really from what direction you are coming from. That is, any time spent going the extra station might negate the time saved.

Thanks Michael. Btw what kinda distance are we talking about. I’ll be taking the MRT from changi with 2 large bags so I think you get my predicament right. Regards

What is the MRT fare for going to city hall from Beauty world?

You can use the fare calculator here to work out how much it costs to travel on the Singapore MRT. The standard fare will be S$2.20.

Best regards, Jess

Hi. What time is the last MRT? Planning for the new year fireworks at Gardens by the bay

You don’t mention which line you wish to travel on, however the MRT is extended for NYE celebrations with the last MRT’s generally running between 1am – 2.30, depending on which line you require.

Best to check with the SMRT site directly. Insert the station and it will give you the last MRT time.

We will be staying eight days over the Christmas period, are the MRT trains running as normal.

Yes, the MRT runs as normal. In fact, extra services are typically offered over the busy NYE period.

Is there a MRT ticket card for senior citizens like it is in Hongkong?

There are seniors tickets, but only for permanent residents and citizens only, who will have a concession EZlink card.

Regards, Jess

One of Singapore's most effective public transportation systems is the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system. It is open every day, however not twenty-four hours a day. Services usually start at about 5:30 AM and end at midnight.

With more than 130 stations and a vast network spanning more than 200 kilometers, the MRT makes it easy for locals and tourists to commute. The MRT continues to evolve to accommodate the increasing demands of Singapore's dynamic urban setting, with plans for expansion still in the works. Its wide coverage guarantees accessibility to important locations, linking travelers to a range of residential, business, and recreational locations around the island nation.

The MRT continues to be a vital conduit that promotes connectivity and improves mobility, connecting busy city areas to suburban neighbourhoods. The MRT system serves as Singapore's commitment to provide environmentally friendly, dependable, and efficient transportation options for its citizens, and it also demonstrates the country's commitment to sustainable urban development.

How to Use The MRT Line

Using Singapore's MRT is a breeze! Here's a quick guide:

1. For payment, you'll need a contactless credit/debit card (foreign cards may result in admin costs), an EZ-Link stored-value card, or a Singapore Tourist Pass—which provides unlimited rides for one to three days. You may buy EZ-Link cards at convenience stores and MRT stations.

2. To locate your platform, use the station map or any helpful signage as a guide. Exit points for particular streets are marked on locality maps, and large directional signs highlight neighbouring sites and attractions.

3. Enter the station by tapping your EZ-Link card or contactless card on the reader at the fare gantry to enter.

4. Board the train by waiting for your train on the designated platform. Announcements and large displays indicate the arriving train's destination.

5. Enjoy the ride as trains are frequent and air-conditioned, making for a comfortable journey.

6. Exit the station upon reaching your destination by tapping your card again at the fare gantry to exit. The fare is automatically calculated based on your journey distance.

3. Circle Line (CCL) - Orange

The Orange-colored Circle Line (CCL) circles the city centre, making connections to other MRT lines and important locations easier. If you plan to utilise the Circle Line (CCL) Stage 6 in the near future, it is advisable to inquire about any temporary service adjustments since ongoing expansion works are underway.

We are a family of 3 planning to travel to Montepulciano. Pienza and Val d Orcia in first week of June.

We will be using public transport (buses) and planning to arrive to Montepulciano via Bus FT4 from Chiusi Stazione-P.Zza Dante.

We are bit confused with the bus time tables

1.I looked up the https://www.at-bus.it/en to find the bus schedules for bus FT4 and found that there is only winter time table valid from 15 Sep. As we are travelling in June , what is the correct time schedule we should look at to plan our travel.

2. Similarly for bus 112 , what is the correct schedule to refer

3. Is Moovitapp a reliable source for the bus schedule or I should stick to at -bus website

Thank you in advance for your valuable help

The summer timetables should be online at https://www.at-bus.it/en by the 9th/10th June 2024 in time for the school holidays.

Thank you Mesh!

Which means if we are traveling before June 9th, the winter timetable is the correct time table to use, am I right?

Many thanks

"Which means if we are traveling before June 9th, the winter timetable is the correct time table to use, am I right?" Yes, that's the https://www.at-bus.it/en timetable to use. Sometimes both winter & summer timetables will be online together so make sure you use the winter one.

Thanks for your prompt reply!

You're most welcome!

Saw the previous posts. We are a family of nine traveling the same route a few days after 9-10 of June. Is there any historical timetable that could help us plan before the new summer schedules are officially posted?

As far as I'm aware unfortunately not.

Ok. Thanks for your response.
