Singapore's efficient roads and transportation system make it easy to get around.
Buses and MRTs are frequent and there are also special facilities that cater to the physically-disabled in most public transport.The MRT currently has three lines - the East-West line from Pasir Ris/Changi Airport to Joo Koon, the North-South line from Marina Bay to Jurong East, and the North-East line from Harbour Front to Punggol. Construction is underway for the Circle Line. Train intervals range from 2 - 8 minutes.
You can purchase standard single trip tickets or the ez-link card, which can also be topped-up and used on public buses.
