I mentioned in my summary of a weekend in Singapore that the metro was one of the best I’d ever used. It’s true. It was empowering and great. Here’s some info.
There is virtually zero gap
I rode the metro for probably thirty journeys and only one time was the gap psychologically challenging, but I zipped over it anyway and it was fine. Here’s a video of the typical gap.
The routes are few & easy
There are boards with maps and stops in every modern station. After a few rides, you will know which direction you need to go if you memorize the endpoints. If you go the wrong way, just get off at any station and go to the other platform and go the other direction.
There’s a station at the airport
The metro doesn’t run late or very early in the morning, but if you’re looking for a cheap option for getting from the airport, there is a station right there. You can buy the Singapore Visitor pass for the metro after you enter the station and use it throughout your trip.
Follow the tactile paths
Although the target audience for these are the blind and visually impaired these come in handy as a sort of “Silver Brick Road” for wheelchair users too. There are tactile paths from the entrances to the elevators to the platforms, so you can follow those and make your station visit even easier.
If you need help at any time, just about every station has an attendant or guard who will help you.
