transport in singapore
Is the EZ ticket the best to use to get around & can you buy them at the airport? We shall be there for 5 nights. Also what is the best way to get to hotels from the airport? Thanks

If there's more than one of you, and you're traveling with more than just a carry-on, just take a taxi. There are shared taxis ('airport bus') but the cost for two people is close to the cost of a regular taxi, and you have to wait for them. The train is really only practical if you're traveling light.

The EZ link card can be purchased from the main MRT stations and bus interchanges. This can be used for travel on the MRT and on buses.

Take a taxi. There are from 10,000-15,000 of them depending on what taxi driver you talk to. So, it's easy to get one...especially from the airport.
What I do is while I'm waiting for my luggage, I go to the exchange window near the baggage claim area and get some money. Then by the time I've finished with that, the luggage has arrived and then I head for the taxi line up which is highly orderly and efficient. Happy Travels!
