2) DO get a copy of the local MRT (Mass Rapid Transit, aka Metro, aka Subway) guide.
You can download the guide at www.smrt.com.sg or pick it up at any MRT station. MRT is the most popular and probably the most convenient mode of transportation in Singapore – especially during peak hours, when traffic jams are the order of the day. By studying the MRT guide, you will discover that many of the local tourist attractions are accessible by train, saving you quite a bit in the way of transportation expenses.
