Getting around Singapore
Getting Around by AirSightseeing flights can be arranged locally through the Republic of Singapore Flying Club
Getting Around by Water
The Singapore Cruise Centre is located at the World Trade Centre, about 10 minutes' drive from the city centre. Harbour cruises and ferry services to Singapore's islands, Malaysia and the Indonesian Riau islands may be boarded at the ferry terminals located at the World Trade Centre and Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal at Changi. A ferry for Sentosa, the most popular offshore island, leaves every 20 minutes starting at 0730.
Getting Around by Rail
Singapore's modern and efficient Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) (tel: 1 800 336 8900 , in Singapore only; website: www.smrt.com.sg) network (see Getting Around Towns and Cities) covers much of the island.
Getting Around by Road
Traffic drives on the left. All motorists driving into the city or traveling on some major roads are required to pay the ERP (Electronic Road Pricing).
Bus: There is a well-developed system of local services run by two main companies. The service is cheap and efficient and operates throughout the day. Three City Buzz services loop the city. A SIA hop-on, hop-off service operates daily. There are additional peak-hours-only shuttle and minibus services. A flat fare system operates on the one-man routes. A timetable and route map is available from bookstores. Service buses are operated by SBS (tel:1 800 225 5663 in Singapore only; website: www.sbstransit.com.sg).
Tipping: In western standard that the bus won’t stop if there is no bell rang on bus. So you need press the bell before alight. It might be unhandy that you might not know you are about to arrive until you see the actual stop. So asking driver to remind you is the best way to do. The driver is very friendly in most cases.
Car hire: There are several car hire/self-drive firms with offices at the airport and in hotels. You can also try the local agency. Luxury Tours & Travel (website www.luxury.com.sg)
Documentation: A national driving license is sufficient for stays up to one month. For visits beyond one month, an International Driving Permit is required.
Getting Around Towns and Cities
Trishaws: This traditional form of chauffeur-pedaled transport is a fun and exciting way to tour the streets of Singapore. Need to settle down the price before your trip though.
Taxi: These are numerous and relatively cheap. There will be some surcharge during peak time (5:00-8:00p.m.) and not shown on meter calculation.
Metro: Singapore has one of the most advanced metro systems in the world. The trains operate 0530-0300 (0600-0000 on Sundays and public holidays) with stations being served on average every six minutes. The Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) (website: www.smrt.com.sg) is a modern, comfortable, efficient and cheap way to explore Singapore.
