The EZ-Link card card can be used for both the SMRT & SBS Transit. You can buy an EZ-Link card at any MRT station for S$15.
This includes a S$3 deposit which is refunded when you return the card. There is a non-refundable amount of S$5 for the card cost and a travel value of S$7 to start with.
The minimum top-up is S$10. Any unused value is refundable as well.

If you wanna go home.
Don't hop off at Lakeside,
It's a long walk alone."

 at Dhoby Ghaut Station by machomikemd
Tap the EZ Link card in the designated area on the top of the turnstile to enter the train area and likewise tap the card on the turnstile at your destination to exit. Same for buses - when entering the bus tap the card on the specially designed card reader near the driver and at the rear door when exiting.

More to come. Just holding the place while its still 430am.
The MRT is quite the nice subway system. And my favorite thing about public transportation they are expanding it.
Fares are based on distance with your ezlink being scanned upon entrance and exit and the value deducted. I do not believe I saw any fares over about SG$2.
Almost all stations are about 3 to 4 blocks away from each other at least inside the city. Leave a Comment

Bus fares start from 80 cents. Be sure you have exact fare, as bus drivers do not give change. For convenience, buy a $15 EZ-Link car with an encoded $10 value, wich allows chashless payment on all public buses and trains (MRT). The remining value is REFUNDABLE. REMEMBER TO PUT THE CARD IN THE MACHINE FOR REFUN THE MONEY. Leave a Comment

 Sentosa island, Singapore by SWFC_Fan
It is possible to reach Sentosa by public transport. Using the ultra-efficient MRT network, you need to take a train to Harbour Front MRT station. This will involve a change of trains at Outram Park MRT station.
I started my journey from Bugis MRT station and the journey to Harbour Front took about 20 minutes (including a few minutes waiting for a connecting train at Outram Park). The cost of the journey was just S$1.50.
Upon arrival at Harbour Front, the various methods of crossing over to Sentosa are clearly signposted. Follow the signs through the adjoining shopping mall to the buses, ferries and cable cars that make the short journey across to Sentosa. It is also possible to walk across the bridge to Sentosa from here.
I purchased a ticket for Sentosa which included amongst the various attractions cable car transfers to and from the island. This is a great way to arrive at the island - the views are spectacular (but it's not for the faint-hearted!). Leave a Comment

I think this is one of the best ways to travel while in Singapore. Its easy ,fast and cheap. All you have to do is just get a free map at any MRT station and then just see what station you want to go to which is closest to the places you want to visit. There is various lines , so changing from one line to the next is a breeze once you worked out where you want to go. You can even take the MRT to Changi Airport instead of paying the high taxi prices. Its well worth it and its not a problem travelling with your luggage on the MRT. Leave a Comment

While you're in Singapore, there's a good chance that you'll want to visit either Singapore Zoo or the neighbouring Night Safari. These are both located some way north of the city centre - so how do you get there?
The quickest way would be to take one of the numerous, cheap taxis. The journey should take about 25 minutes and cost no more than S$15.
Alternatively, if you're travelling on a tight budget, it is possible to reach the zoo/safari by means of public transport. First take the MRT as far as Ang Mo Kio station (on the North-South line). Depending where in the city you start your journey, the train to Ang Mo Kio will cost somewhere between S$1.50 and S$2.50.
Then, from directly outside Ang Mo Kio station take local bus #138 directly to the entrance of the zoo/safari. The bus journey from Ang Mo Kio takes about 20 minutes and tickets (costing S$1.50) are purchased from the driver.
If you're visiting the night safari, be sure to check the time of the last bus from the safari back to Ang Mo Kio.
When paying the bus driver, you don't actually give the money to the driver. Instead you put it into a metal slot which (I assume) is capable of determining how much money you've put in. The driver then gives you a ticket - but apparently doesn't give any change, so ensure that you have the correct change with you. Leave a Comment
