The cheapest way is to take the MRT (subway). But it is not necessary the fastest way. The fare is maximum S$1.70. You will have to take the East-West Green line and switch to the Expo-Airport sub-line at Tanah Merah MRT station (Station E4). From the city, the journey should take about 40 minutes.For train schedule: SMRT Travel TimeTaxi from the city will take about 25 minutes and the fare should be around S$11-S$14.
Getting to Pulau Ubin is easy. You could get on Bus No.2 and stay all the way till it reaches its terminal at Changi Village. You can also take the MRT to Tanah Merah MRT station and board bus No.2 from there. (It will be a 30-40 minutes journey). Once at Changi Village, look for the Changi Village Jetty (a little way down from the Hawker Centre and opposite Changi Beach) and board the bumboats for S$2 one way from Singapore to Pulau Ubin. Passport is not needed as Pulau Ubin is within Singapore territory.To get a deeper idea about Pulau Ubin, please kindly access my SINGAPORE LEAFLET: PULAU UBIN

The Singapore Airlines Hop-on bus is a great way to get around Singapore. If you have your SIA boarding pass it will only cost you $3, for other passengers it is $8.....still very good value. The air-conditioned buses run every half hour from 9am - 6pm every day.Pick up a leaflet at your hotel so you can decide where to get on and off the bus. An added bonus is the map on this leaflet, I used it constantly.It takes about an hour and a half to do the whole trip without getting off the bus. Lots of fun getting off at designated stops when something catches your eye.You can't miss these buses they are very colourful!! Some of them have bottles of water (very cheap) or umbrellas for sale.
You will find on some timetables a second KTM station shown in Singapore at Bukit Timah. There is a station here but it is a passing point on the line only, you cannot board or leave trains here anymore. Similarly at Woodlands Checkpoint you cannot join or leave the journey, it's simply a stop for immigration formalities to be carried out.
It is so cheap and convienient to catch a taxi in Singapore, and to go anywhere around the island will cost you between SG$2 to SG$12. All you do is wait at a taxi stand, or flag one down on the street! There are always taxis driving by. The taxi drivers that I've experienced have been really friendly and full of good advice about what to see and eat in Singapore. They are really interesting people to talk to.
One of the best way to experience the famous Singapore River and the surrounding city and harbour area is to go on a ride on one of the traditional bumboats (see photo) which used to tansport cargoes in the Singapore River till the late 1980s. The ticketing counters are located near to Boat Quay and Clarke Quay, and this is not to be missed when you are in Singapore.
There are lots of taxis in Singapore and the drivers are well-trained and communicate in English. Taxis in Singapore are also very safe and affordable (fare starts at S$2.40 and the fare from airport to city is about S$25). More information on the telephone numbers to call the various taxis are at http://www.infotaxi.org/city-353.htm
Singapore's MRT system is fantastic, really easy to use, really cheap and more importantly..........really cooool!More or less the same set up as any other subway system really but about 10 times cleaner (see pics). Plenty of maps around the place, user friendly ticket machines. You can be at most places within a few minutes!
Absolutely no messing from these guys, the best taxi drivers I've ever come across. Safe, clean, friendly and will not rip you off. Once you get in there is a screen with all the info of your journey, full name of driver, distance, destination etc. You can easily just wave your hand anywhere for them to stop, these guys are also very cheap unlike taxis in my country.
