Tour of the Underground in Singapore

• Tour of the subway in Singapore

Today, we look at the Singapore subway. It is bright, clean, modern, but very uncomfortable. Maybe I just had bad luck with the routes, but less than two transplants never worked.

Singapore subway - just a cheap way to get around the city. This subway is relatively young, it appeared in the late 1980s. By the way, Singapore is unique in that the subway here - the main transport in the state.

entrance to the station.

Or this ... By the way, each station has a number! It is very convenient to navigate.

Tickets are only sold in vending machines. The cost of travel from 1.5 to 4 dollars.

Instead of tickets - a plastic card. It pays bail - $ 1. After the trip, it can be put into the machine and return the deposit. Unfortunately, the card can not be recharged. That is, every time we have to take it and charge a new one. Also, the machine does not accept large bills. If you do not have the little things - you need to exchange the box office. If you plan to explore Singapore for a long time, I recommend to buy a travel card "EZ-Link". Using this card, reduce the cost of the fare on the subway. In addition, the card can pay in buses, or even pay for purchases in stores. Add funds to the card, it is necessary in kiosks or in the sale of cards phones.

Turnstiles.

The lobby is spacious and bright.

stations are almost all the same ...

Very similar to Kuala Lumpur, only without commercials, and everything is clean.

Directions transition point on the floor. Very comfortably. In Moscow, it is necessary to make such labels, and then by hanging signs is not always convenient to navigate.

Way separated from the waiting room by a glass wall that opens only on arrival of the train at the platform. This allows you to save the underground microclimate. All underground stations are air-conditioned.

The trains without drivers. Everything is very clean and beautiful. In the middle, along the car, there are six passengers to be comfortable to hold. The seats are located on the sides of the car.

between the cars can go. All trains are air-conditioned.

Places for disabled and elderly people can not borrow. They are always available.

You can look out the window.

Tunnel. Incidentally, one of the reasons for the ban in this country is associated with gum subway. Previously, such strict rules regarding the gum was not until the automatic metro. Locals gum cleave to the closing door sensors. Sensors signaled obstacle and train doors could not be closed, which naturally entailed a failure in the train schedule. We solved the problem radically hard and fast - banned chewing gum.
