Joanna's Singapore adventures

I'm about to say something that will make my Melbourne readers very jealous.
Such a thing exists as a public transport system where the fares are cheap, the trains and buses are clean, train services run every few minutes and the stored value card system works. That system is here in Singapore and I get to use it.

Coming from Melbourne where the public transport system is best described as an epic fail, the Singapore system is a refreshing change. Even late in the evening there is often only a 6 minute or less wait for a train. This is even the case on weekends. The buses aren’t usually quite as frequent but still regular enough. The only thing Melbourne does better in regards to public transport is that for stations with multiple lines running through them, the different platforms are close together. Not always so here, some interchange stations require a ridiculous long walk through the underground passageways (well a few minutes walk at least).
