Singapore’s Mass Rapid Transit - MRT metro system is the most convenient and fastest way to get around. The system has over 140 stations, six different lines, and trains that run every 3 to 5 minutes, seamlessly and punctually connecting the island-state nation. The trains run from 5.30 a.m. to midnight.

At airport where do u get the ez link in terminal 2 and when does the store open there
How to get the 5sd back
Where to submit the card???
Thank you for the help ❤❤
No problem :)
So much for Singapore sightseeing 😢. Travelling is not easy.
😅😅
How much should I top up the Ez-link card as per your recommendation.
As I will be going for 3 days to Singapore ?
Depends on how many places are you planning to cover. You can top up with 10 SGD, if it is less you can top it up again
What are the timings of MRT metro ? Can i catch morning transit flight of 8:30am using MRT ?
You can check on Google maps the earliest MRT for your route :)
Like for buses we have to tap when we enter, and then again when we exit, is it the same for metro’s?? Matlab wahaan bhi 2baar entry and exit pe tap karna hota hai kya? And how will we know ki kaunsi metro kaunse station pe ayegi? Aur Jo aa rahi hai wo kahaan kahaan jayegi..??
Yes, do baar tap karna hai, once at entry and once at exit. AAP CityMapper app download Kar sakte ho for figuring out metro routes
Hello, If i'm using the sim card (inserted in my phone), should I tap the mrt gate/bus using my phone? Or is the sim card not physical (esim) thus the ezlink card can still be used for MRT/bus?
If you are asking about the 2-in-1 card that I bought, the SIM card and the MRT card is different in it. Once you take out the sim, the rest of it works as the MRT card
@meanderwander Thank you. I've arrived in Singapore 2 days ago and am happy to confirm that this is true.
The seller at the airport even registered the sim card for us. So just pop the sim card in the phone and it's ready to go!.
Can 2 people use same card for travelling
No, if you use same card twice, it will consider that as entry and exit
did you purchase singletel sim with EZ link from airport itself?
Yes, you get it at the exit area
What is the price for these
If we go for 2 days then what will suitable?
Depends on how much you wish to travel. If you want to cover a lot of places at different locations, then you can get cab else the card is perfect!
Can u advise if ez link card or tourist pass is value for money?
It depends on how many places you are planning to visit and how many days are you visiting Singapore
I am planing to travel with my wife and kid to singapore. My son is
You ll need separate for your wife and you. Kid will be complimentary if he is younger than 1 years
@@meanderwander thank you
Will using forex card with singapore currency in MRT or Bus cost more..?
Depends on your forex card and what charges they levy. It’s always best to buy the Ez link card though as that helps in discounts
What abt the remaining amount in the card at the end of your trip ? Is it refundable?
Yes, you can give the card back at one of the ticket counters and get the money back for your card and the value in it

If your card works, then yes you can buy

@@yakshemals main jab gayi thi tab Niyo ka issue chal raha tha so couldn’t try it, toh main directly cash se hi payment karti thi kiosks mein.
@@meanderwander Accha theek hai. Thank you!
Can 2 people use one ez link card ?
Can we swipe twice in single ride ? Instead of taking 2 ez card ?
No you cannot as you have to swipe the card upon entry and exit so swiping twice means it will count entry and exit together
