When you are in Singapore, you can go around by taxi, by bus, or by underground. I myself prefer the
underground because it is fast, easy and cheap. There are many buses and taxis in Singapore and one cannot

therefore usually quicker than taxis or buses. If you do not know Singapore very well, it is difficult to find the
bus you want. You can take a taxi, but it is more expensive than the underground or a bus. On the
