Bus

Singapore has an extensive bus network, which accepts both cash (no change given) and cashless payment (EZ link). Buses can be boarded at designated bus stops, most of which show a map listing out the various routes and pricing.

Cashless payment is the easiest method of payment: simply tap your card against the reader at the front entrance of the bus when boarding and alighting. Make sure you tap out or you'll be charged the maximum fare.

If you’re staying out late on the eve of public holidays, Fridays or Saturdays, you’ll be happy to know that buses services known as the NightRider and Nite Owl will be in operation. With seven routes running at 20 minute intervals, these buses runs though major nightlife districts such as Boat Quay, Mohamed Sultan, and Orchard before heading into the heartlands. The Nightrider and Nite Owl services charge a flat fee of S$3.50 and S$4.00, respectively, regardless of the distance and mode of payment. If you are travelling within the city area, only SGD S$1.50 is charged.
