as the subject said, it's about Singapore's bus and MRT system and how the Government and their city planner and the Transport Company has create the BEST transport system that I've ever seen in the world. if you travel around Singapore for a lot of time during your time in Singapore by using their buses and MRTs then get the EZ-Link as it will save both your time and money. during my time in Singapore, you can even use the EX-Link card to buy a McDonalds food. for MRTs you only wait a maximum of 10mnts and a train will come on the station and pick you up and together with their new lineson the way more places will be covered by MRT. for their buses it's nice as well.

Changi Airport in Singapore is ultra modern, very efficient and easy to get to and from. Public buses run from the basement and go to most city centre areas where you are likely to find cheap accommodation - Bencolen Street and Beach Rd amongst the Colonial District. The web site is www.changi.airport.com.sg, will tell you all you need to know and is where you can join in a discussion group about the airport and has an interesting e-card section. Changi airport apparently also offers laptop and PDA users infrared access kiosks (at a price I would imagine).

Singapore is a gateway to Indonesia, amongst other neighbouring countries. There are regular ferries every day between the World Trade Centre and Batam and Bintain, both about 30 minutes away. These two islands make up part of the Riau Archipeligo and from Sekupang on Batam Island you can enter Indonesia immigration, change money and then do the best thing you can, and that is get a ferry straight out. To Pekanbaru on Sumatra " a long but excellent days travelling by decrepit ferry and unroadworthy bus " is a good option. Thus you can travel from Singapore to central Sumatra very cheaply in one day.
