Bus trip was way too long - +8 hours Had to change bus at Singapore custom but there was no bus. Waiting time almost 1 hour. Bus went to gas station 2 times form more than 30min and also went to the garage to pick up another driver as Singapore bus was late. Terrible experience. The bus itself was fine.

The driver was not friendly, at 1. Stop he closed the bus and went away. We couldn't go to the Toilette. The 2. Problem was: he left us at the pass Controller in Singapur and drive away. We gave more money to go to the Center Singapur. The trip was ok and the bus comfortable and clean.

It was our first time riding this express bus and during crossing the borders of Malaysia and Singapore, no instruction was provided for what to do and where to get back to the bus. Even when I asked the driver, I got no answer for what we should do and where to go like we suppose to know. We were left alone after passing Singapore boarder. We struggled to navigate and almost missed our flight.

Comfy bus and punctual service, but the pickup and drop points were not that convenient. The booking confirmation said to be there 45 mins early, there’s no point as the bus didn’t arrive until 10 mins before the departure and there isn’t any check-in process, you are just waiting outdoors by the side of a noisy road. Also very vague instructions for finding the right spot, so I had factored in generous buffer time. The drop off point Boon Lay is nowhere near the MRT station as one would perhaps assume, you have to walk 20-30 mins which can be quite a lot with luggage. All in all this trip felt like a hassle.

How to stay safe in Singapore?

Stay safe by adhering to local laws and regulations, as Singapore is known for its strict enforcement. Public spaces are monitored, and littering or jaywalking can result in fines. It is important to respect cultural norms, such as removing shoes before entering homes and dressing modestly when visiting religious sites.

Transportation is reliable and safe, with taxis and ride-sharing services costing around 10-20 SGD ($7-15) for short distances. The MRT and buses are efficient options.

Walking alone is generally safe, but always be aware of your surroundings. Opt for bottled water, as tap water is safe to drink but may taste different due to chlorination. Emergency services are efficient, with the police reachable at 999 and ambulance services at 995.

When dining, street food is safe to enjoy, but observe cleanliness standards. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash, as credit cards are widely accepted.

Should I go to Kuala Lumpur or Singapore first?

Choosing between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore depends on your travel preferences. Kuala Lumpur offers a mix of cultural experiences, with attractions like the Petronas Towers, Batu Caves, and vibrant street markets. It is generally more affordable, with meals costing around 20-40 MYR ($5-$10) and public transport fares starting at 2 MYR ($0.50).

Singapore, known for its modern architecture and cleanliness, features attractions such as Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay, and Sentosa Island. It is more expensive, with meals typically costing 10-20 SGD ($7-$15) and public transport fares starting at 1.50 SGD ($1).

Both cities provide efficient public transportation systems and diverse dining options. Consider starting with Kuala Lumpur if you prefer a more budget-friendly experience with rich cultural diversity, or choose Singapore for a more upscale, organized urban environment.

Can you walk in Singapore?

Yes, Singapore is highly walkable, with well-maintained sidewalks and pedestrian-friendly infrastructure. Many areas are connected by covered walkways and pedestrian crossings. Popular walking routes include Marina Bay, the Orchard Road shopping district, and the historic Chinatown area. The city also offers numerous parks and nature reserves, like the Singapore Botanic Gardens and East Coast Park, which are ideal for walking.

For longer distances, Singapore's efficient public transport system, including the MRT (Mass Rapid Transit), complements pedestrian travel. Fares typically range from 1.50 to 2.50 SGD ($1.10 to $1.85) for short trips. Tap water is safe to drink, so refillable water bottles are practical for walking tours. Additionally, it is advisable to carry an umbrella due to frequent rain showers.
