Singapore subway system MRT is one of the most clean and efficient systems in the world. Please note there is no eating or drinking on the platform or trains. With the government investing in subway the footprint is continuing to expand so you can get most places now underground
I've ridden the BART, the "L", NY Subway, Boston's T and the Washington Metro and Singapore's MRT is by far the best. Clean, safe and an affordable way of getting around the island.
The subway system is great! It’s fast, clean, and did I mention clean?! The only drawback (which is still a winning point for healthy young folks), is the speed of the escalator. Since it’s about four floors down, the escalator makes up the slack by going at a fast soeed( id day about 3-4x of the escalator speed at the mall or say the Toronto subway escalators in Canada). My mother in law actually couldn’t maintain balance on one of the times (our last time) using the escalator and my father in law fell at the bottom while looking back at my mother in law . Some really nice passerby’s helped us to get him up. We have learned our lesson the hard way- started using the elevator since then. We also travelled with our two year old who loves escalators but we didn’t dare to let him use the escalators at the subway system due to the speed!
Also love that their single tickets are reusable! On the third reused trip u get 10 cents off and another 10-20 cents on the sixth trip! It can be re-used a total of six times. Promotes being environmental!
Its good mode of transportation for tourists. Don't think I will call it as tourist attraction.
They need to improve especially running the late services. Directions to the station should be sign posted more than what they have on display.
Clean, well-orgaznied, efficient, and affordable in an amazing network of lines and stations all over the island. Such a great way to get around. Getting to the airport was also a piece of cake even though you have to change trains. One of the best in the world!
