A Day Tour on Transit - Singapore


[Recommended Hostel Booking Site with NO Booking Fee!]

Briefing

Narita Airport

My flight was a night flight arriving in Singapore at 02:00, so I stayed in the airport until the train service started at 06:00. It took about an hour ride on the train to the downtown, so I needed to leave downtown by 17:00 in order to catch the 19:00 flight to Thailand. I already checked in at Narita (in Japan), so I got only immigration.

EZ Link Card

When you finish your immigration, find the underground train to downtown. In Singapore, they are only using IC ticket even for single ticket, so you will need deposit to ride a train. Also, they no longer have a travelcard. Then, why don't you buy a discount ticket called EZ Link Card which is just like Prepaid Oyster Card in London? You can refund anytime in a month even if you leave some money including its deposit. They now charge non-refundable deposit of S$5.00 for the card cost.
