9 Things to Know Before Visiting Singapore
Переглядів 21 тис.Рік тому
If you're visiting Singapore for the first time, here are 9 things to know that will help make your visit relaxed and enjoyable. Hopefully there's some new ideas in here for you as well ;)
Can multiple passengers use the same credit card for bus? Please let me know.
Hi! Unfortunately a credit card cannot be shared between multiple passengers. Each person needs their own card to ride the bus. If you do not have another card, the next best option is a prepaid EZ Link card. Similarly though, every passenger must have their own card. Buses do take cash, but it is more expensive than using a card.
Hi there, In terms of foreign credit card /debit card, how much extra money will be deducted in MRT and buses.
Hi! A 60 cents per day charge is added when you use a foreign credit card on public transport in Singapore. This is regardless of how many trips you make. If you make one trip, it will charge 60 cents; if you make 10 trips, it's still only 60 cents added. The fee covers the cost of foreign currency exchange for the Singapore operator.
thanks a lot
Tip 1: Taxi, correct just queue for normal taxi, its slightly cheaper, avoid trans cab (red) or compare using grab, gojek, tada. Also note that taxi has surcharge at peak hour and tolls esp if staying at suggested location like tanjong pagar. Tip 2: Train is affordable but note that it can be crowded and not 24/7. Just pay with credit card. If you topped too much into ez link, very troublesome. Tip 3: Sim card, every mall have. Or just klook. Singtel tends to sell extra bull that you dont need, but best reception. Tip 4: Walk because no trains there so this tip dont make sense. Taxi is hard to get ard the area mentioned too. Tip 5: F1 week is fine... just if you want to do any attraction, book ahead. There are plenty of hotel option. Avoid chinese new year. Most places are closed. December is good cos most locals are out. Tip 6: Ok Tip 7: Eat at hawker, coffee shops and food court. Most local eats black pepper crab. Tip 8: Ok
Yes from Melbourne to Singapore so easy
great video

Bro just sighted a rolls Royce at 0:58.
Would you like a ride? Rolls Royce are very popular in Singapore, particularly where this clip was shot (Orchard Rd). Let me know if you'd like airport transfers or other journeys in a Rolls Royce.
What's the weather like in July? And is it easy to get a taxi in Orchard Rd?
Weather in July is typically warm throughout the day, sunny in the morning, and likely to have a thunderstorm in the afternoon. It's uncommon for it to rain at night. Getting a taxi in the Orchard Rd area should be easy - many buildings have taxi stands where you can hail a taxi or book using an app. Taxis won't be able to stop on Orchard Rd itself, they can only use the taxi stands and building entrances along the road. I wrote a full guide on how to catch a taxi on my website, check it out here: reachingsingapore.com/singapore-catch-taxi-guide
@@reachingsingapore Thank you so much! You're such a big help.
I’m going to Singapore 😃
What are you most excited to do in Singapore?
Uuuuuuuuuu
Bayfront, Raffles Place & City Hall had a similar layout where same coloured train lines are on different floors. Newton station is the only station in SG that a commuter had to get out of the fare gates to switch to another colour train line (5 min grace period).
When you get on the bus do you tell the driver your destination then tap your card? In England that's what we do but I was wondering in in singapore if I need to say where I'm going, if I already have the right bus from looking at google
Hi! No need to tell the bus driver where you're going. You tap your card when you step on the bus, and tap again as you leave the bus. The card reader will calculate the fare based on the distance you travelled, and charge this amount to your card.
So long nvr mrt like "how to use mrt?" Is funny. If language barrier so long "ow 2 use mrt?"
singapore said keep low voice ready for .... 🤞 😅
Wonderful video. Thankyou😊
Thanks for getting straight to the topic.
For student price, near is less than 50 cents, far is 70 cents based on my experience
I'm gonna say theres a reason why the downtown line intersects itself cuz the stations are very close to each other through walking (my thought)
I in Singapore 🇸🇬 😊
1:10 If you have big suitcases, please be considered. Don't take the public transport. You don't come all the way to Singapore to save $20.
That's rude. Please don't tell me you are fellow Singaporean.

Can i use my credit card to buy for multiple people?
Unfortunately the system requires 1 card per person. You can use your credit card to buy a prepaid EZ Link card for someone else though. Debit cards (as long as they are Visa or Mastercard) work too.
there is no such express lane on escalator!!! stop spreading your imaginary law/rule!!! escalators is designed to stand not walk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello there. Wanna ask if they are also accepting Debit Card both Visa and Mastercard on their transportation.?- because what I always see is they are only using credit card.
Debit card is accepted for Singapore transportation as long as it is visa or mastercard. There are some banks around the world that block overseas transactions for debit cards, check with your bank to make sure your card is enabled for overseas transactions.
Thanks you so much for the information. Will do it before traveling to Singapore.😊
If you want less sugar ask for "siu dai" means 1/2 of the sugar (about 1/2 teaspoon) or "siu siu dai" which is 1/4 of the sugar.
I'm just curious, are all MRT lines one-way or two-way? If I take the EW line from Changi Airport - Tanah Merah station until EW8 and transfer to CC9 at Payah Lebar station, does it go directly to CE1 Bayfront - Gardens By The Bay?
Interesting example! From Paya Lebar, trains can go to either Dhoby Ghaut or Marina Bay (inc. Bayfront). My suggestion would be to take the next train regardless and change at Promenade if you are on a Dhoby Ghaut-bound train. When catching the train back from Bayfront, you can take any train. Occasionally the train might not go all the way to Paya Lebar, but you can always get off at Promenade or Stadium (or any of the stations in between) and continue your journey on the same platform with a train that goes to Paya Lebar.
Very useful video, thanks. How can I pay the EZ link card? Cash? Credit card? Thank you
Best way is to use cash. If you're visiting Singapore for a short visit, you might be better off using your credit card for public transport - if it's visa or mastercard it will work on buses and trains in Singapore. There is a fee of 60 cents per day for using a foreign credit card, but there is also a non-refundable S$5 "card cost" for buying an EZ Link card.
Hi. Is there any singapore reward on 2024 ?
what a great video! another tip - I also land up saving up on unnecessary expenses like atm fees etc in Singapore - using apps like ATM Fee Saver - it helps find atms with no fees or lower fees than others along with withdrawal limits etc. worth adding to your list of tricks!
Attention pls the train at platform a will end it service at jutong east platform d
Hey, I've enjoyed your videos on Singapore. I was wondering, what do you think of making a video specifically about renting bikes there? If you haven't really done that there then that's an idea for your next visit perhaps.
Yes! I'm looking at trying out the bike hire at Changi T2 - see what it's like to cycle while in transit
Hi, Can I board bring 28" suitcase?
I've seen lots of people board with suitcases, 28" should be fine. I don't recommend it during peak hour though.
OwO thank you for the answer, maybe around 1-2 pm on weekdays should be fine... @@reachingsingapore
Tips 19 is not a official rule and it does not exist, all MRT escalator has a logo stated to stand firm on escalator to reduce fall or accident... and pls stop promoting your stand left walk right on escalator, and there is not fast lane... you only keep left on espressway/highway and PCN(Park Connector)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks for promoting the most uncivilised Singapore culture of reserving seats!!!!!
Kopi siew tai = coffee less sugar for those dont like sweet drink
Hi new susbcriber. First time to visit singapore maybe we will arrive about 10pm. Is it still advisable use mrt? We will be going to out hotel located at Chinatown.
Yes you can still use the MRT if you arrive around 10pm. Try to get to the Changi Airport MRT station before 11pm (Singapore immigration and baggage collection are very fast - it usually takes me 15-20 minutes after my flight lands to collect my bag). Depending on which part of Chinatown you are staying in, it's likely better to use the Downtown Line (blue) to get to your hotel. You would board the train at Changi Airport station, then change to the Downtown line at Expo station. This train would stop at Chinatown and Telok Ayer MRT stations which will probably be near your hotel.
how will you know if your stop is the next one?
I like to use Google maps and watch myself move along the road... Many buses (but not all) have announcements for the next stop. Some have displays as well. Drivers are quite friendly, you can often ask them if the bus is not moving.
Whats the rush narrator??? We cant keep up with the info as you talk so fast and then edit one sentence into the end of the previous one.!!
Won't happen now....but will happen.
Good luck
I have an old EZ link card from 10 years ago. Can I exchange it for a new one?
Yes! Though there is a $1 service charge according to EZ Link's website here: www.ezlink.com.sg/expiring-ez-link-cards/
Though I am a Singaporean but truly enjoy the videos from tourist! From you I have learnt quite a lot too and also the food you prefer! Welcomed to Singapore!
I went to Singapore last week: tip of saving a lot of money: don't go to japanese or korean restaurants especially in the shopping malls, as I went with my brother it could cost us quite a good amount of money, because of the added tax you need to pay for expensive food!
Yes you're right!
Accomodation is really expensive. Food and transpo are reasonable.
Which bus do we ride from Changi airport to boat quay? Thanks!
Consider taking the MRT - the green East West line will go to Raffles Place and you can walk to boat quay from there. Any bus, such as route 24 or route 36 will involve changing somewhere to get to boat quay.
Do toddlers require their own card? Also how are they with prams?
Children under 7 years old and under 90cm tall do not need a ticket at all - their journey is free. You can take a pram on a bus, if your pram doesn't fit in the front doors you can use the rear doors to board the bus. Check out the guidelines here: www.lta.gov.sg/content/dam/ltagov/news/press/2017/20170308_GuidelinesOpenStrollers_PublicBuses_Annex.pdf
I wanted to go to haw par villa, but my cousins who are Singaporean absolutely refused to go there. Not because it's scary, Im not sure why, maybe it's not for locals.
