点评:Spent 40 hours in Singapore based out of V Hotel Lavendar. Location chosen as its on top of the MRT and close to Changi Airport by MRT. The MRT is a train service on steroids. We chose to use MRT to get from Changi to our airport (last train out of the airport was 2315 hours) because the transfer cost was going to be 85 British Pounds for two. With a train leaving Changi every 15 minutes or so and costing around S$4.00 each it was a no brainer.
Very reliable, use contact payment for best result, and an e-money currency card for even better cost savings. We used Wise loaded with S$.
With the MRT route map downloaded, we found our way around Singapore reasonable easy. Over the 40 hours, we took about a dozen trips on MRT, most trips required getting off one train and getting on another (see map showing the colour rotes). This was seamless with a train arriving within 10 minutes. Each station has really useful maps and the trains have station maps that interact with the location relative to the stations coming up.
Not one drama, hassle, breakdown or late train. The network is really busy; however, we never had any issues getting on a train.

Highly recommended.
翻译:我在新加坡度过了40个小时,下榻于V Hotel Lavendar。选择这家酒店是因为它就在地铁站上方,而且乘地铁就能快速抵达樟宜机场。这里的地铁系统简直堪称“加强版”的火车服务。我们决定乘地铁从樟宜机场返回市区(最后一班从机场发车的列车时间为23点15分),因为两人往返的出租车费用要高达85英镑。而实际上,几乎每15分钟就有一班列车从樟宜机场出发,票价仅为4新元左右,所以选择地铁再合适不过了。
非常可靠。为获得最佳效果,请使用非接触式支付方式;若想进一步节省开支,则可使用电子货币卡。我们使用的是充值了新加坡元的Wise卡。
下载了地铁路线图后,我们在新加坡的出行变得相当顺畅。在这40个小时里,我们乘坐了大约十几次地铁,多数情况下都需要先下车再换乘另一班列车(可参见显示各线路颜色的地图)。由于每隔10分钟左右就有一班列车到来,换乘过程十分顺利。每个车站都配有非常实用的地图,列车上也有相关地图,能根据列车即将到达的车站位置进行互动显示。
从未出现过任何混乱、麻烦、故障或列车晚点的情况。虽然整个铁路网络十分繁忙,但我们乘车时从未遇到任何问题。
###每位乘客都需要自己的支付工具;不能把卡交给别人使用###
强烈推荐。
