A
Singapore’s public transport system is one of the best in the world, so you should have no problem finding your way around like a local. There are three main forms of public transport that you would find in any other major city--trains, buses and taxis. TRAINS
Trains run from 6:00 a.m. to midnight. Single trip tickets start 80 cents. If you buy an EZ-Link card for $15, you can ride the trains and buses as you like.
BUSES
There are several bus services in Singapore and fares start at 80 cents. Be sure always to ask the driver the cost of your ticket as he can not give change.
TAXIS
There are three main taxi companies---City Cab ( 6552 2222), Comfort (6552 1111) and Tibs (6552 8888). Booking can also be easy by calling the numbers listed above. RENTAL CARS
Driving in Singapore is a pleasure and if you like to travel at your own pace, renting a car is a good choice. Renting takes away the hassle of getting to places around Singapore. Just sit back and enjoy the city . It also means you’ll get to see a lot more that a train or a bus won’t let you see. For car rental , call Avis on +65 6737 1668.
