Singapore: Bus preferred aircraft ~ travel




Two means of public transportation is the most popular island bus and subway.


The majority of Singaporeans do not hesitate to switch from using private transport to public transport systems.


Sitting in the bus as fly business class

 
Singapore bus system operating range and the highest efficiency in the world. The travel between places in the city and suburban areas easily with reasonable cost.





Bus fares usually from 0.70 to 1.40 SGD (Singapore Dollars), air-conditioned bus from 0.80 SDG to 1.70 SDG.

 
The bus tickets can be paid for each leg. Bus fares usually from 0.70 to 1.40 SGD (Singapore Dollars - USD 23,520), air-conditioned bus from the 1.70 SGD 0.80 SGD (U.S. $ 28,600). Public buses operate from 5:30 'till midnight. Shipping costs will be additional night surcharge. Each 10-15 minute trip each way. Passengers can ride just surfing just because buses have free Wi-Fi. There's also a bus system "Hop on Hop" for visitors at the mall, amusement parks in the city. Except for some cases airlines free service for tourists, the usual fare on buses is 6 SGD (U.S. $ 100,800) for adults and 4 SGD (67 230 USD) for children. Passengers can buy tickets at the hotel, the airline's office or directly on the car.


On this island, the bus even more popular aircraft. People also use the bus to travel to neighboring countries Malaysia. A Vietnamese tourists share the experience on the bus blog: Our car is a bus to the size of the 50-seat Hyundai Aero, type commonly found in Vietnam, but the car only 23 seats arranged. All car seats are on the sofa or mattress felt kind of high, wide, electrically adjustable seat, depending on preferences. The road went from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur center longer than 360km, but the car is less than 5 hours, including waiting time is always the immigration procedures at the border. I must say that riding like sitting in business class aircraft.

Subway: riders soon Incentives

 
Perhaps subway system (MRT) is the fastest means of transport in Singapore. The system has two main lines, one line connecting the Marina Bay to Jurong via Woodlands; remaining line from Changi Airport to Boon Bay. From the city center, the hotel is only 27 minutes by subway to Changi International Airport. The trains run every 12 minutes.


The MRT station has adopted many measures to ensure access for wheelchair users, families with small children using strollers, people in poor health and tourists carrying bulky luggage, to ensure that all the needs of the passengers were attentive service. If the remote is in, passengers can visit the website to know www.smrt.com.sg route and optimal route for themselves.







                                                                      Inside the bus.

Subway operates from 5h30 'to 0h30 morning before' the next day, morning and evening rush hours, the station is estimated that thousands of people pass by. So, recently, the Ministry of Transport Singapore proposed free tickets to those who pre-rush hour commute an hour. Reuters quoted Mr Lui Tuck Yew - Singapore Transport Minister: Only 10-15% of people need to go earlier than one hour, the situation will improve much more. When they travel habits change, the capacity of public transport will be fully utilized.
