Singapore Survival Tips – Part 1

by webby on Mar.26, 2009, under Blog, Travel

If you’re planning to take a trip to the finest city in Asia or you have decided to migrate and search for a job, here are some useful tips that I have gathered based on my experience when I invaded Singapore last Sept to Nov 2008. These items do not follow any order, so just read them.

MRT and bus

1. They are the most reliable transportation in the city.

2. Tickets are re-loadable; credits can be used in Mcdo and 7-11.

3. In mrt, one person per chair/space is strictly followed. Unlike in Manila, kung makakasiksik, sige lang, if ever you did this, people will really stare at you.

4. Expect to smell something…don’t want to be mean..but for sure you will really learn to hold your breath longer. Haha.

5. For the bus, there is always an entry and exit doors, usually, front one is the entry and back one is the exit. And make sure you tap your card once you get in and get out of the bus.

6. Buses have their numbers. They have their own routes and you have to know which bus to take, there are bus guides in all bus stops.

7. You can’t go down just anywhere, there are bus stops. And a stop button to press if you are near your bus stop.

8. Buses have schedules; usually they have an interval of 10 to 30 minutes.

9. Traffic is not an issue in Singapore. You can never make this a reason for being late in your appointment.
