How Convenient Is It to Travel Around Singapore Using the MRT?
There are more than 140 stations across six MRT lines throughout the island. With more than three million riders daily, this 200km system is one of the most convenient and cheapest ways to get around Singapore.
Fares range from S$1.28 to S$2.57 per trip for standard adults while children under specific height and age conditions can ride for free (under 0.9m and below seven years old).
Children who do not meet these requirements will have to pay the standard fare unless they have a Child Concession Card. Payment methods include credit and debit cards, mobile wallets, and SimplyGo cards.
The train carriage and stations are also comfortable and clean, as strict rules prohibit eating, drinking, and smoking.

The Benefits of Staying at a Hotel Near an MRT
Accessibility
Instead of having to arrange for a taxi or walk long distances, you can easily make your way to the station near your hotel.
With several MRT stations just five minutes away from Victoria Hotel, you can get to areas like Orchard Road or Marina Bay without relying on private transportation.
Staying at a hotel near an MRT also makes travelling with kids and shopping bags much easier.
Avoid Jams
When you are trying to fit several activities into one day, getting stuck in traffic can mean less time exploring and more time sitting in a vehicle. Trains operate on rail lines so you can travel between different parts of the city without being affected by road congestion.
This can be especially useful if you have reservations, tours, or attractions to get to at a specific time. By staying in a hotel near an MRT station, you can make your journey more predictable and spend less time worrying about traffic.
Cost Savings
With multiple MRT stations near Victoria Hotel, guests can make greater use of Singapore’s public transport and save on transportation costs. The money you save can then be spent on shopping, food and other activities during your trip.
This is also one reason why the location of your accommodation matters when comparing hotel rates. A hotel that may appear slightly more expensive could potentially offer better overall value if it is near an MRT.
Travel Like a Local
Perhaps the best part about staying near an MRT is having the opportunity to explore Singapore like a true local. Millions of Singaporeans take the MRT daily and this comes with no surprise.
With an MRT station nearby, you can explore different neighbourhoods easily. It also gives you the freedom to venture beyond the areas surrounding your hotel.
