Singapore mode of public transportation is pretty much very good, you have a variety of options such as the MTR, the bus and the cab, we tried all…Rent a car is of course available.

As usual, we started by taking a cab as first time tourists mostly do! And there are two kind of cabs there, one that is the usual cab, and the luxury cab, which are Mercedez Benz’s. If im not mistaken rate starts a little over $1 then adds something like half a dollar per certain distance. Costed us about $12 from Orchard Road to Sentosa.

Can’t afford to buy a Benz? for a few dollars, enjoy a Benz ride with a chaffeur in Singapore hehe…

 regular cabbie like the blue, white and yellow ones. 

 

But being first timers didn’t stop me and my friend Julie from trying the bus.  When we got in, we sort of observed first, and noticed that people brought out cards or their wallets(with the card in it) and just put it near a sensor..and we go…o ohhh, we don’t have that hahaha…

 

Then a student got up and put some coins in a vendo within the bus and a ticket came out, again we go, we don’t have that either…we approached the bus driver and said, “do you accept cash? we want to go to Bugis” ( a place where we could buy some shirts and reg magnets hehe), then he replied, “Yes” to our relief, he mentioned how much and we paid it, it was a couple of  dollars i think.  Apparently, paying cash and via the electronic card thingie costs differently, cheaper with the card.

(this is the usual bus in Singapore, 2 levels, and normally arrives on sched too)

The other is the MTR, can’t find my c.d where i stored the pics

Here is video of a bus ride at night…
