How to take the subway in Singapore

If you want to travel freely in Singapore, you must know the traffic here. The following is about the internal traffic in Singapore, mainly subways and buses. In fact, you can take a taxi, which can be used as a reference for your travel in Singapore.

Ez-link here, let's talk about the ez card separately. Traveling in Singapore, I have to say ez-link. It costs 12 dollars to open a card, of which $5 is the production cost, and $7 can be used as the fare. You can choose domestic tb, idle fish or the connection between Changi Airport and subway. Subway stations have deposit machines, which support cash and visa/master card recharge, and some taxis and supermarkets can use ezlink for consumption.

Subway system Singapore subway is also called MassRapid system.

Traffic (MRT) opened in 1987, which is one of the most developed and efficient public transport systems in the world. At present, the subway station 1 13 and the standard gauge line 148.9 kilometers. The service starts at 5: 30 in the morning and ends at 1 in the morning, and the frequency is about 1 to 5 minutes. The system is divided into five routes. The east-west line (green line), the north-south line (red line), the northeast line (purple line), the ring line (orange line) and the coastal urban line (blue line) are connected with each other and lead to several tourist attractions. The public can only use the station by looking at its name and remembering its color and number. The railway traffic in Singapore is mainly subway, and other rail traffic is called urban Light rail system (LIGHT).

Railway transportation,

LRT).LRT is the supplement and expansion of MRT, which is mainly used to connect hub stations and transfer hub stations with major residential areas and commercial areas to realize real door-to-door traffic. The whole system can run automatically, and the unmanned light rail locomotive can reduce the cost, improve the operation efficiency and greatly reduce the overall traffic business time of travelers.

Personally, I think the subway is relatively developed, and I have seen the most underground 7 floors. Combined with the subway map, first look at the distance between my residence and the subway station. If my residence is not far from the subway station, I still recommend taking the subway, and I often encounter transfers. It is recommended to remember the station name and route direction in advance. Only the purple line has Chinese station names when sitting down, and other lines have no Chinese station names. Special reminder, Singapore subway prohibits eating and drinking, and durian is forbidden. Many places in Singapore, including hotels, subways and shopping malls, prohibit carrying durian, let alone eating durian. Singapore's subway cars and escalators run very fast, and they start and slow down quite quickly. Be sure to stand still. The entrance and exit doors are in the same place, so pay attention to the direction of the passage.

It is recommended to install an APP Singapore Metro.

Taxis operate on urban roads in Singapore. Taxis belong to several different operating companies. There are many kinds of taxis with different starting prices and complicated pricing methods. In short, black and silver cars are not recommended (because they are expensive). You can estimate the price of the car. You can call a taxi at the front desk of the hotel. Remember to say cheaper.

Taxi (cheaper taxi), or simple blue and yellow taxi.

If you are not in a hurry, you can also ask the driver who can speak Chinese (I have made several phone calls to talk to China people about the local customs, which is also quite interesting). There are many payment methods for blue and yellow taxis. You can use Visa MasterCard.

Ezlink and other cards can also be paid by Alipay scanning code. Red taxis don't accept any payment methods, only cash.

The starting price is S $3.7, and the rest is complicated fare calculation.

Buses are not recommended. The names of bus stops in Singapore are determined by small-scale buildings and place names here and there. It often happens that the bus stop names on both sides of the road at the same location are different, and there is no Chinese station name broadcast. It is not so suitable for most people in China to ring the bell in advance to let passengers stop and get off.

Uber doesn't know whether it is the version of the mobile phone or the lack of Google framework in the mobile phone framework. Uber has been unsuccessful and it is convenient to use the car, so it was abandoned.
