What needs to be done about cabs for Self Planned Trips - [Singapore] ?

[Thomas244]

Check grab rates also and mrt rates. For example to go to zoo…. It was mrt 2sgd per person till Khatib station then 3 sgd per person in bus to zoo. MandaI shuttle. So 20 sgd for family of 4. Grab was 22 sgd and reached fast

Grab has premium ride for luggage. Grab 6 is cheaper but some drivers are ok, some aren’t.

Another taxi ride app is comfortdelgro which we can use in kris+ app. It gives extra krisflyer miles.

The shuttle from Khatib to Mandai costs 2 sgd/person and return is free

Yes the grab to zoo makes sense. On return shuttle being free is the better option which I also took. Also if one or two persons then better mrt plus shuttle bus. I must admit I never paid 3 sgd I checked mandai website saw rates and calculated, so can’t confirm if 2 or 3.

Okay, so I just came back from my trip with my family to Singapore and Malaysia yesterday.

I exclusively used Scapia for all the Grab taxi bookings I made and any other forex purchases I needed to do. I also had an ICICI forex card and Axis Atlas (rarely used it) as backup.

Mainly used the MRT and buses for point to point travel. Both Scapia and forex card worked fine without the unnecessary headache of forex markup.

If you don't have elderly people or infants in your family, I would suggest using the public transport system in Singapore as its top notch and saves you a lot of money in the long run.

Airport rides will exclusively be in Grab assuming lots of luggage.

Did card work everywhere in Singapore ?

Would you recommend any site for activities and which ones did you take in your trip ?
