Getting around Singapore is a breeze thanks to an efficient and safe public transport system. Purchase a stored value ez-link card for convenience and lower fares (as compared to using standard tickets from the ticketing machine) when travelling on our extensive network of public buses and trains (known locally as MRT - Mass Rapid Transit). Ez-link cards can be purchased at TransitLink Ticket Offices and Passenger Service Centres within most MRT Stations.
