Singapore's two bus companies are SBS Transit and SMRT, which covers nearly every corner of the island. Buses here include single and double-decker buses and all have air-conditioning. Taking the bus is much slower, especially in a traffic jam, than the commuter train but you do get to see the sites than the darkness of an underground tunnel.
Fares are based on distance, so tell the driver your destination and ask for the fare - pay the exact fare. A convenient option is the stored value card, which you tap onto the reader when boarding and tap again when getting off. There is also the 1,2 and 3-day Singapore Tourist Pass for unlimited travel on the public buses as well commuter trains.
