π Getting Around
Singapore
Singapore has world-class public transit. The MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) rail network and extensive bus system cover virtually the entire island. Get an EZ-Link card or use a contactless Visa/Mastercard for seamless travel across all modes.
Walkability: The city center is very walkable with covered walkways (5-foot ways) protecting from rain and sun. Marina Bay, Chinatown, Little India, and Kampong Glam are all best explored on foot. Air-conditioned underground malls connect many MRT stations in the CBD.
Tashkent
Tashkent has an efficient metro system and affordable ride-hailing. The city is spread out, so walking between major sights requires planning.
Walkability: Moderate β the old city area around Chorsu is walkable, but major sights are spread across the city. Wide Soviet-era boulevards can make walking distances deceptive.
