First the operator calls me to say I have to take a bus earlier (one hour). A couple of hours later I get a message that my bus is delayed by 2 hours. Eventually he was more than 3 hours late. The driver was very unfriendly and shouting at us.

Service was speedy and peaceful. The seats were comfy and could recline, and had a usb input for charging. Arrival wasn't on time described on schedule, but I didn't mind.

The bus was very comfortable. We stopped once for a “toilet only” break. The driver didn’t allow me to take my bag of food (and of course we were not allowed to eat or drink on the bus). So I was starving when we reached our destination.

Spacious coach & driver drove with caution. Other than the aircon wasn’t cool enough on a warm and humid day, overall the ride was pretty good!!

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.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea.
