Public Buses in Singapore
I enjoy traveling via our efficient public buses in Singapore. All public buses are air-conditioned and they are very clean. Of course, I only enjoy taking public buses during off-peak hours else it will be very congested especially in the morning 7am to 8am and evening 6pm to 7pm.
Public transport is similar to other cities. It is cheaper by scanning EZ link card instead of paying by cash. In Singapore, most citizens travel via public transport because Singapore is the most expensive place in the world to own a new car. Before you can buy a brand new car in Singapore, you must have the Certificate of Entitlement (COE) which can costs between $46,000.00 too $55,000.00 (depending on the bidding and car category) which is more expensive than owning a car in other countries. So owning a normal brand new car from South Korea or Japan can cost a total of $90,000 to $110,000.00. If you want to buy a brand new branded car like BMW, be prepared to fork $250,000.00.
Currently besides SBS Transit bus, there are also SMRT and Australian bus Tower Transit in operation. Fares depend on distance travelled and the cheapest fare is $0.70.
