Singapore is a very small country but you will definitely get lost if you do not know how to get around in this city-state. Due to its high population density, in fact, on of the highest in the world, owning a private vehicle is not easy, unless you have big pockets and can afford to pay the COE, Certificate of Entitlement, that gives you the right to own a car in the country. If you do not have the mean to own a car, then the best alternative is by public transport.
The public transportation in Singapore is highly efficient. I hardly have any complain with the level of frequency and services provided. However, getting around in Singapore can get a bit tricky in the sense that there are many buses that serve many different routes. If you are not familiar with the bus numbers, you will definitely find it hard to get around the country.
To solve the problem, you can go to www.gothere.sg and check out the route and type of transport you need to take. In the webpage, you will see that there is a designated space for you to type in the place you want to travel from and the place you want to travel to.
For example, I have typed in “from Jurong East Street 31 to Raffles Place MRT station”, automatically, the website will generate the route that I need to take. On the left side of the webpage, you can choose the type of transportation you intend to take like bus, MRT & LRT, taxi, or by car. There is also a display of travel time required, the amount of fare and the number of transfer needed.
Do note that the time of travel varies according to the period of the day like peak hours and non-peak hours.
The level of details that the website has given is astonishing. It helps me plan my journey in the most ideal and cost effective way. There are certainly more that the website is offering but I will leave it to you to discover the rest of the features in this website.
