Easy singapore public transport

Getting around Singapore is a breeze with the MRT. There is a host of ticketing schemes based on stored value smartcards to suit a wide variety of needs. Store-value cards can be purchased from the TransitLink Ticket Office located at selected MRT stations and standard value tickets may be purchased from the General Ticketing Machines(GTMs) located at all MRT stations.
The initial card purchase are $15.00(card cost non refundable $5.00, deposit refundable $3.00, initial travel value $7.00) The minimum top-up value is $10 @ Add Value Machines and GTMs in MRT stations and bus interchanges.

SMRT operates two main rail lines, the North South Line which runs from Marina Bay Station to Jurong East Station via Woodlands Station, and the East West Line which runs from Pasir Ris Station to Boon Lay Station.
If you wish to connect to the North East Line, simply change trains at Dhoby Ghaut Station or Outram Park Station. For commuters headed to the Singapore Expo Centre or travellers bound for Singapore Changi Airport, hop on board the Singapore Changi Airport Express which calls at Tanah Merah Station.
