How do you plan Singapore public transport?
LTA’s journey planner can help you find routes, calculate fares and estimate travel times. Check the official site before you go for current service and fare information.
For public transport fares, LTA supports contactless bank cards, mobile wallets, SimplyGo EZ-Link cards and NETS prepaid cards. You can use a contactless bank card without registering first; tap in and tap out with the same card or mobile device.
Cash is accepted only on buses, where you need the exact fare and will not receive change. Foreign-issued contactless bank cards incur an administrative fee, so check LTA’s current guidance if you plan to pay that way.
What should you know about Singapore’s rail and bus network?
Singapore’s rail network spans six MRT lines and more than 140 stations, while public buses cover almost every part of the island. LTA recommends its MyTransport app for train operating times, station exits, bus services and arrival times.
For qualifying journeys paid without cash, distance-based fares apply across public transport modes. Integrated journeys can include up to five transfers without additional boarding charges, subject to transfer rules and time limits. Check LTA’s journey-planning guidance for the current conditions.
