For entrance to the central street, to the business center or to the "Express Way", an additional fee is charged from 0, 75 SGD to 3 SGD depending on the time and day weeks . The tariff between 00:00 and 06:00 in the morning is half more expensive, and for the trips between 07: 30-09: 30 and 17: 00-20: 00 they take 1 SGD . virtually all drivers if they do not speak, then, in any case, understand in English . But still, before you go, it is better to make sure that the taxi driver knows exactly where to go .
Buses inexpensive (from 0, 6 SGD), two-storey and comfortable. You can buy an electronic travel card or pay the fare from the driver, throwing coins in a box, standing next to him. Do not give in buses, so you need to collect the smallest amount that is required.
City trolleybuses connect main hotels and tourist attractions.
