The city state island of Singapore is about 1 kilometre south of Malaysia (and mainland Asia) and is connected by the famous Causeway. The tiny nation of just over 700² Metres has as a result one of the highest rates of urban areas in the world. The public transit operation in Singapore serves the island extensively with a reliable, clean and cheap service. The back-bone of the system is the (currently) 3 line Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) rail system. Service is provided by 2 major operators:
SBS Transit is also the operator of a large number of Double-Deck buses, mostly of Volvo and older Leyland makes, but also Dennis. Singapore's network has an EZ Link contactless smart card system in place for fare collection.
