MRT tickets in Singapore (SimplyGo) can be purchased via contactless bank cards (Visa/Mastercard), mobile wallets (Apple/Google Pay), or by buying a stored-value EZ-Link card at station ticketing machines. Tourists can also buy a Singapore Tourist Pass for unlimited travel, available at select stations.
Simply tap your contactless bank card (e.g. credit or debit card) or mobile device at the MRT fare gates or card reader on buses as you would usually do with your current travel card. If you are using your mobile device, remember to place your device a little longer at the fare gates or card reader. TRANSPORT?
