The area
Neighbourhood: Marina Bay
More of a mini city than a neighbourhood in the traditional sense, the iconic Marina Bay aims to dazzle and entertain visitors of all kinds. This is the Singapore found in glossy brochures, featuring a world-class hotel, casino, shops, restaurants, bars, and other attractions all geared towards pure entertainment. The SkyPark at Marina Bay Sands provides a stunning view of the city, a must-see photo opportunity for visitors and locals alike. The ArtScience Museum always has a top-quality exhibition, and Gardens by the Bay is a fascinating manifestation of the government’s vision of Singapore as a “city in a garden”. Enticing Marina Bay is well worth a visit.

recalled we kept hearing the announcement that goes... if you see any farcpeecious looking persons call ambulance. and the train system's are packed with cameras from all angles. female passengers cover your tops and bottoms if you don't want eyes getting free show on exposed parts of your bodies from above, side and below

Always a good job keeping Singapore running. Since I do not have a car and taxi are expensive, we all take trains regularly and rarely have any issue

You never wait long. Most stations have barriers along the platforms which reduces the risk of dropping anything or accidents so fewer delays. Is this the world's best underground system?

Efficient, Consistent, Clean.
I do enjoy the system and find it moves well. Connections are easy and waiting is limited. once you learn the signs, getting to the right exits are a cinch. Underground’s always disorient me. There is a map of the outside world and exits are labeled by letters. Then follow the signs. Done.
One small complaint. The acceleration and braking has a bad stutter process. I’m surprised more people don’t fall. Would like to see a smooth operator.

We were very impressed with the clean and efficient subway system. It does not cover the whole city, but when you use it you are comfortable. Quick and very very safe.

Other than the ticket machines in the MRT stations where else can you top up EZ cards/tickets as my only issue what that they only accept small notes or coins and we struggled to top up two cards due to lack of small note when we first arrived? Thanks

We visited Singapore in January and used the MRT system. We had the same difficulty. At the larger MRT stations Doby Ghat & Orchard to mention a few there is also a kiosk which is manned. we purchased our tickets there. they were really helpful

Yes you can use contactless cards on the SMRT
I used mine for all my journeys last month
We'll be going on a cruise in Singapore, in a month, please guide me if we uses MRT from the cruise terminal to Changi airport, where do I go and take it, and does it go straight to the airport without transfer or if there is where do we get off and how far to walk

Your booking will have port of boarding nentioned in it. It will either be at Tanah Merah Ferry terminal or harbour front. Harbour front boarding port is near harbour front mrt. If it is tanah merah then you need to take taxi.

i will stay in singapore for 4 days. i want to ask, where can i buy the EZ card at the airport? and is it available for all transportation in singapore or only for MRT?

You can buy the EZ link from any convenience store. It’s very easy to use.
If you’re staying for a few days, purchase the tourist SIM pack. You’ll get a SIM with 100GB data and an ez link card :)
