Singapore MRT Fares and Tickets

Singapore’s train fares are calculated according to the total distance traveled. Adult MRT and LRT card fares currently range from S$1.28 to S$2.57, around ₱61 to ₱123.

Passengers who tap in before 7:45 AM on weekdays, excluding public holidays, receive a S$0.50 discount. Early-morning fares range from S$0.78 to S$2.07, around ₱37 to ₱99. These rates took effect on 27 December 2025.

Exchange rates are approximate and may change.

How to Pay for Singapore MRT Rides

Single-trip MRT tickets have been phased out. Travelers can pay using:

• SimplyGo EZ-Link card
• NETS Prepaid card
• Contactless Visa, Mastercard, or American Express card
• Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay
• Singapore Tourist Pass

Always use the same card or mobile device when tapping in and out. A physical bank card and the same card stored in a mobile wallet are treated as different payment methods.

Filipino travelers using a foreign-issued Visa or Mastercard will be charged an additional S$0.60 foreign bank card administration fee for each day the card is used.

Singapore MRT Operating Hours

Most MRT stations in Singapore open early and close around midnight, making it convenient for both locals and tourists.

• First train: Around 5:30 a.m. from most stations
• Last train: Around 12:00 a.m. (midnight)

On special occasions like New Year's Eve, the eve of public holidays, or during big events, the MRT may extend its operating hours. Do note that some lines or specific sections can have slightly different timings, so it's always good to check before you travel late at night. Also, if you commute on weekdays, tapping in before 7:45 AM qualifies you for a S$0.50 off-peak discount — a handy way to save on your daily rides.

EZ-Link Card

To get around Singapore easily, you’ll need an EZ-Link card. You can buy it at MRT station counters, and it works on trains, buses, and even some other transport.

Visitors can choose between a single-trip ticket or a stored-value EZ-Link card that you can top up anytime. With this, traveling to places like Gardens by the Bay, Orchard Road, or a nearby hawker centre becomes smooth and convenient.

Getting Around Singapore Made Easy

For Filipinos visiting Singapore, the MRT is one of the smartest ways to move around the city. With an EZ-Link card, you can ride trains and buses without the hassle of buying tickets every trip. It saves time and money, especially if you plan to visit several places in a day. The MRT brings you close to top spots like Orchard Road for shopping, Chinatown and Little India for culture, and Gardens by the Bay for a relaxing walk. Riding the MRT feels simple and reliable, making it easy to enjoy Singapore even if it’s your first time visiting.
