Green Transports

Another thing you really need to know when you come to Singapore is how to get around. Agreeably, not many blogs about travel talk about transportation within the country but we feel it may be useful to you when you come to visit.

We know that when it comes to transport and being eco friendly at the same time, it gets a little hard and often we choose comfort over protecting the environment. In Singapore, however, it is becoming increasingly easier to travel and be green simultaneously.

Public transport in Singapore is incredibly easy to use. This is especially true for tourists because most tourist attractions are close to bus stops and train stations. And fear not, our public transport systems in Singapore are among the best in the world. They are clean, easily accessible and safe.

There are three types of transport that you may consider using while you are here and they are Taxis, Busses and Trains.

Busses and trains cover most of Singapore but since there are hundreds of busses going to hundreds of different places, it can get quite confusing unless you have a bus guide which you can pick up at any bus stop and most money changers in Singapore. If you have access to the internet on your phones or in the hotel room before you leave, you could always check the route you should take to your destination on gothere.sg. The link to the site is available in the links section. The site gives you the shortest or cheapest route to get you to wherever you want.

The best thing about these busses and trains is that since it is for mass transport, you could travel without feeling guilty that you may be polluting the environment. In addition, the trains run on electricity and are therefore eco friendly.

As for taxi’s, they are easily accessible except at peak hours. If you really need a taxi at peak period, you can call for one at any of the following numbers:

CityCab, 6552 2222
Comfort, 6552 1111
Premier, 63636888
SMART, 6485 7777
Tibs & SMRT, 6555 8888
Trans-link, 6555 3333

Some of these taxis are run on natural gasses so they are environmentally friendly but they can be pricy especially at peak hours.

We hope this has helped you with the planning of your visit to Singapore and helped make the tedious process of thinking about what to do while you’re here a little easier.
