Transportation Tips

Would like to share this article that was being extracted from the Spring Magazine Jan/Feb 08 issue as follows :-

Transport
Feeling the pinch from increased cab fares and the rocketing price of petrol,but not
up for the daily squeeze on the bus?
Here's how to get to your destination with ease and comfort.

CAR SHARING
Owning a car can be very expensive,but here's an option where you can use one without
the high cost.Car-sharing - where a group of people share the use of a communal fleet
of cars - is an ideal choice if you do not drive everyday but would like to have access to a car when you need to.You only pay for what you use.
For more information you may visit NTUC Car CO-op and HondaDiracc.

RIDE THE BUS IN LUXURY TO WORK
Driving a car may be seen as a convenient choice,but with Singapore's efficient and
reliable public transport system,you're sometimes better off with the bus.
Especially with the premium bus services that have been launched.SBS launched 13 new premium services last October - two of them serving the North East - that run during the morning peak hourson weekdays to the CBD. Fees are $2.70 or $3.00 depending on
the distance.

RIDE FOR FREE
Make the most of the various free shuttle buses,such as those within the town area,instead of walking or taking a taxi.From City Hall MRT station,there are at
least five free services that will take you to various shopping centres like Laing
Court,Millenia Walk,Marina Square,Great World City and the Concourse.
From Compass Point,residents can also hop on a shuttle to Courts,Ikea and Giant at Tampines as well as to Parkway Parade at Marina Parade.
