Singapore - Getting Around on the MRT Trains

Sure, Singapore's MRT commuter rail network doesn't cover every corner of the island but it does get me to most of the destinations. The network currently comprises of fives lines totaling more than 150 km (93 miles) and stopping at over 100 stations. Major stops include Orchard Road, Chinatown, Little India, Clarke Quay, Raffles Place and Marina Bay.

Purchase tickets from the ticketing machines at the stations for single journeys. For visitors, there are the 1, 2 and 3-day unlimited travel Singapore Tourist Pass, which you can also use on the LRT trains and public transport buses. As a visitor, I personally find getting around Singapore on the MRT a lot more convenient than the public buses.
