How to get around Singapore? According to Junus Tan, the best way to get around Singapore is by using public transportation. The MRT trains and city buses connect virtually parts of the island. If you're in Singapore for a week or more, it's better to buy the EZ-link card, which can be recharged and used for buses and trains. Taxis are reasonably priced too, he added. For tourists, the Singapore Tourist Pass is another worthy alternative that includes the functionality of EZ-link Card and also offers attractive discounts on tourist attractions.
