Travel Hacks for Singapore: Tips for Buying MRT Cards & Using International Cards/Currency!😱

Hi,
In this video I talk about Singapore MRT map, getting to know different types of Singapore MRT cards and tips on how to use simplyGo app to track the fares spent on Bus and MRT in Singapore. I have also explained how to calculate fares between different end points and use that to decide whether to buy tourist pass or use international credit cards.
I have also explained on currency whether to use cash/card and which is more convenient and what is the percentage of cash/card I had carried for my travel in Singapore.

    Can i pay with cash at all the MRT or bus stations? Will it be more costly comparing to the ezlink card? And what if i only use my niyo global card for all this mrt and bus station transactions? Will it be cheaper comparing with ezlink card's 5$ non refundable deposit?

    If you observe the legend map, dotted lines are under construction. Direct MRT is not there to marina. You have to go to Tanah mera. Interchange and again interchange at city Hall to go to marina

    Hi. Thank you. Forex cards can be used for MRT and buses etc. But for transport you can only use 1 card/person. We also went as a couple and we carried two niyo global cards.

    Hi. As far as I know, under 7 years there are children concession cards available. I am not sure of 7 to 10 years. Suggest you to check on the transit link website.
