Singapore’s public transport system (公共交通系統(tǒng)) is one of the best in the world, so you should have
no problem finding your way around like a local (當(dāng)?shù)厝?.
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 a.m. to midnight. Single trip
tickets start at 80 cents. If you buy an EZ-Link card for $15, you can ride the
trains and buses all you like.
If you need more information, just call Transit Link
on 1800 767 4333.
BUSES
There are several bus services in Singapore and fares
(車費(fèi)) start at 80 cents. Be sure to always ask
the driver the cost of your ticket as he can not give changes.
If you need help, just call Transit Link on 1800 767
4333.
TAXIS
There are three main taxi companies—City Cab (6552
2222), Comfort (6552 1111) and Tibs (6552 8888). Booking (預(yù)訂) can also be made easily by calling the numbers
listed above.
RENTAL (租) 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
trouble 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.
