Singapore by Bus
Singapore’s bus network is slightly cheaper to use than the MRT system, and far more comprehensive. Public buses operate from 6 in the morning to midnight everyday. These Buses connect various corners of Singapore, but are much slower and harder to use than the MRT, and few visitors venture aboard. It can be intimidating for newcomers, but after you get your feet wet, you’ll feel right at home. Start off by purchasing an EZ-Link stored value card, so you can pay for your trips, and TransitLink Guide, so you can find your way around. There are also several bus routes especially useful to sightseers. Singapore has two main bus companies plying its roads - the Trans-Island Bus Services and the Singapore Bus Service.
SBS Transit is Singapore’s largest bus company, has a useful bus route finder on their home page, but it does not show services run by competitor SMRT, which has its own search system. You can pay cash (coins) in buses, but the fare stage system is quite complex (it’s easiest to ask the driver for the price to your destination), you are charged marginally more and there is no provision for getting change. Change isn’t given, so make sure you have the correct fare. For bus-route information, I call toll-free 1-800/2872727 (SBS) or 1-800/4825433 (TIBS). There are now night buses running along a few major routes across the island; call the hotlines above for more information. If you are in the city, buying a Farecard EZ-Link against an electronic reader, as you and get on board, your price will be automatically deducted from the stored value. Another option is the ticketing Tourist-day Ticket even if it is not very profitable opportunities for travel. Neither the Trolly Singapore, a red tourist bus, tram documents between a route and the Orchard Road Colonial District. A final option - and kids love - is on board the Duck Tour of Singapore, an amphibious landing craft of the Vietnam War, long hours, terrestrial and maritime related Golf (9.30 per hour am-7.30pm; $ 33, Children: $ 17; the Civic District and the port. Tours begin in Suntec City Mall. After midnight on Fri, Sat and before public holidays only, the NightRider services are a fairly convenient way of getting around, with seven lines running every 20 minutes. All services drive past the major nightlife districts of Boat Quay, Clarke Quay, Mohamed Sultan and Orchard before splintering off. Flat fare $3, EZ-link accepted.
