Underground rail transit is the main mode of transportation in Singapore, with more than half of the passenger flow and excellent convenience. Since the opening of 1987, the subway has 12 1 station, with a length of170km and a wide coverage.

The operation time is from 5: 30 am to 1: 00 am, and there are five intersecting lines which are connected with each other and can lead to all parts of the island. When purchasing tickets, you only need to confirm the destination, and use green, red, purple, yellow and blue to distinguish them.

Students can apply for a rail transit card, and it doesn't cost money to open the card. They can pay online and arrive at the account immediately, which saves the trouble of buying tickets separately every time, and can also enjoy a discount of about 30%, which is very convenient for students with high travel frequency.

2. Public transportation

The bus line design of the bus is also very dense, which can basically correspond to the bottom line traffic. However, due to the influence of traffic, the passenger capacity will be relatively small, but it is also a very convenient choice, which is more suitable for trips that want to enjoy the scenery along the way.

According to the length, function and time of the line, different lines are divided, such as trunk line, branch line, rapid traffic, high-quality line, night line and tourist line. You can choose according to your travel needs.

Generally, the running time is 6:00-0:00 in the morning, and the fare is 10 yuan. The train service time is generally 10-20 minutes, and the frequency is still relatively high. Everyone can also enjoy a discount with a card when traveling.

There will be differences in taxi starting prices at ordinary times, weekends, evenings and mornings and evenings, based on 15 yuan, followed by 25 yuan, where the total cost is 50% or 25% more expensive, and it will be charged according to the itinerary and time.

3. List of luggage preparation for studying in Singapore

1 clothes

It's summer in Singapore all year round. According to personal preference, it is enough to bring a few summer clothes, two or three thin coats and a few long shorts. As for formal clothes, you can bring them, but there is no need to bring a suit. Shopping malls in Singapore have a discount season every year, and you can buy a lot of cheap clothes when you need them. It is suggested that you can bring an extra swimsuit and socks, which are more expensive. Leather shoes, sports shoes, casual shoes and sandals can also be brought from China, or they can be discounted at local shopping malls.

2. necessities of life

Many daily necessities in Singapore are cheaper than those in China, so you can bring less, but toothbrushes and toothpaste are more expensive. I suggest you bring more. Suggest some common items such as cups, toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels, etc. You should bring it first, and then use it when you have no time to buy it.

Friends who wear glasses suggest to prepare an extra pair of glasses frames, bring more pairs of contact lenses and bring their own medicine. The price there is not very cheap, it will be more convenient to lose your own backup.

Bedding in Singapore is not expensive either, so you can buy it there. If you are used to personal use, it is recommended to bring two sets of pillowcases, sheets and quilt covers. A big quilt pillow takes up a lot of space. Don't bring it if you don't need it.

3. Electrical equipment

Notebooks and mobile phones can be brought from China, and the price of electrical appliances in Singapore is similar to that in China, so you can buy them there. You can buy an adapter, but you can bring your own patch panel, which is more expensive there. Other small household appliances need to wait until Singapore to buy better and cheaper ones.

4. Stationery and books

You can take several notebooks, several durable pens and a box of refills, which can be used for one year. Pencils and erasers can also be brought, as can some commonly used learning tools, but stationery is also very easy to buy in Singapore, so you don't have to bring it.

As for dictionaries and books, this one is heavier. Like the Ying Ying Dictionary of Cambridge University, you can buy new and second-hand ones in Singapore or not. You can take a smaller grammar book with you. You can bring one or two books you like. It may not be very cheap to buy books in Singapore, but there are a large number of libraries both inside and outside Singapore. With a library card, you can find any book you want in all libraries without buying it, or you can find e-books online.

5. Certificate category

Before going to study in Singapore, be sure to check whether you have all your documents, such as a valid personal passport, a letter of admission from the school, an approval letter from the Singapore Immigration Bureau, and a study visa issued by the Singapore Embassy in China. These are all necessary materials for entry. After preparing the materials, finally, put these important documents in your carry-on backpack, which is convenient for the entry support customs staff to check.

6. Cash

When studying in Singapore for the first time, students can prepare some extra cash so that they can take transportation, eat and so on after arriving at their destination. Students can exchange RMB and Australian dollars into Singapore dollars at home, or exchange RMB, Hong Kong dollars and US dollars into new dollars when they arrive in Singapore. Basically, every major international airport and shopping center has a place to exchange coins. Although Singapore Customs has no strict regulations on the amount of cash carried by immigrants, it is not recommended to reserve too much. After all, it is inconvenient and unsafe, as long as you have 2-3 months' living expenses on your back.
