Transport Insights
Get an EZ-Link card or use your contactless credit card for the MRT/Bus
Download the 'Grab' app for ride-sharing
MRT runs from 5:30 AM to midnight - it's incredibly efficient
Walking is great in the CBD, but use the underground links to stay cool
Sentosa Express is the easiest way to get to the island from VivoCity
Public transport is clean, safe, and punctual
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Thinking you can just take a taxi everywhere (MRT is faster and cheaper)
Not carrying a light umbrella (it rains year-round)
Eating only in restaurants (Hawker Centres offer better food for a fraction of the cost)
Underestimating the heat and humidity (stay hydrated)
Forgetting that chewing gum is banned and littering carries heavy fines
Not visiting Jewel Changi Airport
