Reservation and physical tickets were a little confusing. Bus pick up point is not clear if you dont know the area. Suggest a sketch to locate the ticket exchange booth.

The only advantage was the low price. There was no communication, neither regarding breaks nor border crossings. The staff were rude both at check-in and on the bus. Everything had to be asked for, and even then, the answers were unfriendly. But as I mentioned before it was cheap

The bus is very comfortable, driver drove safely, border control was communicated well. (We arrived around 2h late because of traffic, which is obviously not the companies fault, but a thing you should keep in mind when traveling by bus)

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.
