Transportation in Singapore

Traveling in large and bustling Singapore can really scare an unprepared foreign student. Indeed, to understand the unusual foreign signs, a web of densely populated city streets and the chaotic movement of local transport can be difficult.
Do not worry, we have created a travel guide for you in Singapore specifically for you. All you need to do is arm yourself with a map and start exploring Singapore!

Metro
The metro can be called the most convenient mode of transport to get from point "A" to point "B" in Singapore. In addition, except for a taxi, this is also the fastest way to get around.
For metro travel, you can buy a ticket for one trip or a full-fledged ez-link card, which can be replenished. Money from the travel account is withdrawn depending on the duration and distance of travel. You can buy a pass at any TransitLink city office, passenger service centers at subway stations, and at 7-Eleven and SingPost stores.
You will have to pay SG $ 5 (US $ 3.99) for the travel card, but the minimum amount of funds that must be put on the travel account depends on the place where you will buy it. For example, if you buy a ticket at the TransitLink office, you will need to deposit at least SG $ 7 (US $ 5.60) into your account, and when buying a ticket at SingPost you can pay only the ticket and replenish it later.
As for a one-time ticket, its cost is calculated based on the distance of your trip.
Singapore metro lines cover most areas of the city, so with this transport you can certainly get to your destination without any problems. As a student, in Singapore you will be able to pay a flat monthly fee for unlimited travel each month. Today, unlimited trips around Singapore cost students SG $ 45 (US $ 34) per month. To apply for a student travel card, you must present your passport, passport-format photograph and student card.

Bus
Singapore has an extensive bus network, and you can also use the ez-link card to travel by bus. As with the subway, a student can get a student-type pass by paying just SG $ 52 (US $ 41.50) for a month of unlimited rides on all Singapore buses. Since tariffs differ depending on the duration of trips, you should plan your trips on the Internet in advance or always have enough stuff with you to pay for your fare! Even when buying a ticket for one bus trip, students can get discounts, which can be found on the Internet.
Bus routes cover most of Singapore, so with careful travel planning, you can easily get by with taxi services.

Ferry
While studying in Singapore, you are unlikely to use the ferry every day, but sometimes you can use the ferry service to get to one of the neighboring islands. Pasir Panjang also has a specialized ferry service for people working on the islands.
Ferries usually depart daily 3-4 times per hour, with tariffs directly dependent on the ferry carrier. For example, a one-way ticket on a Bintan Resort Ferry costs SG $ 45 (US $ 36).

Bridge to malaysia
If you like traveling by car, to visit neighboring Malaysia you just need to cross one of the bridges in Singapore. Two Singapore bridges, Johor-Singapore Causeway and Tuas Second Link, connect Singapore and Malaysia, and a trip to Kuala Lumpur takes just 3-4 hours.
When going on such a trip, make sure that you have a passport and an international driver’s license to cross the border, as well as a student visa for customs clearance on the way back to Singapore.

For example, I assembled a rifle back in 2015-2016, a helmet and a gas mask - also before starting work on the film. In general, each of the members of our film crew did something with their own hands for the film and the hut, this also applies to the costume of the protagonist: for example, we made boots separately (but jointly) with our operator, having agreed about their length. He did one, and I did the second. The hut itself is located near the Strelna station and is open to visitors, you just need to write to one of us about our intention to visit it, and we will let you know where the key to it is hidden.  - Explain a little to the readers about low quality and folk topics. Have you traveled to Vologda to look at lace and wooden architecture or to Ustyug to see blackening on silver?  - I have long liked the image obtained with the help of any imperfect devices: cameras of the late mid-1990s or phones of the early 2000s. Such pictures seem to allow you to see something...

The popularity of education in the family is gaining momentum and, on the one hand, it greatly simplifies home-study processes, and on the other hand, it serves as a disservice to families taking this path. Many advisers , experts, and specialists have appeared who, for a kind word, and sometimes not at all for free, willingly give out recommendations to the right and left. And the point is not even the advice themselves, which are voiced by these experts, but the fact that the existence of advice in general violates the organic flow of the family's attunement to cognitive processes that are deeply individual for everyone. When a family is faced with difficulties, experts usually have a million ready-made, highly actionable recipes. Someone calls to work with motivation, someone claims that you need to change the textbook (and, of course, knows which one you need), someone thinks that before each lesson, a mother should definitely dance, and someone suggests getting a coach.
