Taking the MRT in Singapore

There are five MRT lines in Singapore -- East-West Line, North-South Line, North-East Line, Circle Line and LRT. MRT is a convenient and affordable mode of transportation.

You can use an ezlink card or buy a ticket. You can buy a ticket from the ticketing machines at the MRT station. The lowest fare for a standard ticket is $1.10 (90yen). However, it is only $0.73 (55yen) for an adult, $0.36 (30yen) for a child and $0.54 (40yen) for a senior citizen. The highest fare for a standard ticket is $2.40 (190yen). It is about $2 (150yen) cheaper than the highest subway fare in Kyoto.

Singapore is a small island. The network is less complicated than the ones in Japan. There is a schedule for the subway in Japan but there is no fixed timing for MRT.

With My Friends on the MRT



You must not eat, drink or smoke on the MRT by law. You cannot bring durians onto the MRT. Some people hate the durian smell.
