New To Singapore? You Need These Apps!

[@ymhktravel]

Actually you don't have to use any app if you are not sure or don't feel like doing so. The alternative is CASH which is still accepted. Singapore has not gone totally cashless like in China.

[@samtan941]

Private car: Gojek ( only transport, unlike grab) Payment: Favepay (small discounts for repeated purchases) Map: Singapore Maps (gives directions, transport options, travelling time)

[@tangpengyee7164]

One Map, Singapore Maps. Both are great for directions in SG.

Thanks for this video. Much needed info when you live in Singapore.

I'm so glad! Good luck with your move!

[@reyskidude]

probably the first thing anyone moving to Singapore should install... TraceTogether app

[@NewmaticKe]

And the natives are quite different from those in Pattaya

Just be careful of Scams Bro. That's the only Big threats in Singapore . Whatever is too good to be true, Its probably is. Have a nice day:D

What kind of scams should we look out for as a tourist?

[@sonicwavestudio8722]

@@applet2873 : love scams? Dating/donating/lottery scams. Sms from unknown scams, bank sms scams(bank will never SMS you from bitly link) and many more similar to that. So be careful.

Thank you so much! I’ll be there in 2 days.

[@applet2873]

@@sonicwavestudio8722 thank you so much! I’ll be there in 2 days. Do you think it’s safer to take taxi or grab from airport to city? I’m a solo female traveler landing at 1am, and hoping taxi will take my credit card and not be scam.

[@sonicwavestudio8722]

@@applet2873 o ya, you can take grab too but it’s costly in SG. Since safety is good in SG , I can suggest that you can take (metered) taxi or bus.(if you can speak Hokkien and Chinese would be a plus point also as you can understand their local lingo and good rapport with them.

[@Loveportion_2024]

Hi I’m coming to Singapore February 20-22. How do I get from the airport to my hotel? Is taxi cheap? Train? Which one is best choice? N cheaper? Please explain or tell me so I have an idea

[@grant-music]

Something pretty cool -- BlueSG, a car sharing service but with only electric vehicles. Useful if you commute daily to another location (with a BlueSG parking lot) and prefer to drive. Take note that you'll probably need to have to convert your local driver's license to a Singaporean one before you can even register for it, but in the long term this might be good, especially with the crazy cost of owning a car here :)

the word LAH is like a slang in singapore or it is call singlish lol

[@Havis2024]

Foood . Am so hungry . Which app dude 😂

[@chrislim7615]

So my advice here,just use the necessary apps or u'll b stuck with it!

[@saadbhatti7003]

is taking Taxi or Grab is easier and cheaper? Instead of getting $300 room per night?

[@TinaSomaS]

You can try WhyQ for food... I personally like it.

if visiting for a week, will apple pay work at the MRT turnstiles?

[@americaninsingapore6405]

I think so. Apple Pay seems pretty universal/international. Just keep in mind that some credit cards charge international fees.

[@hawkhea7527]

Fave pay Grabpay Google pay Apple Pay Paynow And many more

[@americaninsingapore6405]

So many!!

[@veronicascully5319]

Most of us use PayLah to pay each other as well. It’s become a verb 😆. Very common when you’re out for a meal with friends, we will always say “I’ll PayLah! you for my coffee.” Foodpanda and Deliveroo offer restaurants close to your neighborhood and maybe that’s why it seems like the food reaches you quicker. Grab doesn’t restrict the selection to just your neighborhood. Shopping-wise, you should also check out Qoo10. It has its own delivery fleet and if you choose a local retailer you can sometimes even get next-day delivery.

[@NEAAFFAIRS]

Try using PayNow. It can be used with any bank. We say PayNow for my coffee. I switch from PayLah to PayNow because not everyone has a DBS/POSB bank account

You mentioned best way to pay for public transport, only that you recommend google maps over Apple Maps.

[@americaninsingapore6405]

To me, the easiest way to pay for public transit is with a digital wallet. They can be scanned just like MRT cards, but you don't need a card.
