Singapore Tourist Pass: Unlimited Public Transport Rides in Singapore

The Singapore Tourist Pass is an EZ-Link card offering unlimited travel on Singapore’s basic bus services, MRT, and LRT trains. Singapore Tourist Passes are sold in 1-day, 2-day, and 3-day denominations. Anyone can purchase the Singapore Tourist Pass, tourists and locals alike.

The Singapore Tourist Pass comes in 3 denominations – 1-Day Pass, 2-Day Pass, or 3-Day Pass.

I purchased my Singapore Tourist Pass from Orchard MRT Station. The Singapore Tourist Pass came with a guide book on suggested itineraries around Singapore, and information and deals around Singapore. Unfortunately, most deals expired a year ago thanks to COVID-19, and the guide book is outdated now.

All I really needed was just the unlimited rides on basic buses and MRT though.

How To Use Singapore Tourist Pass

The Singapore Tourist Pass activates on first tap on basic bus services, MRT, or LRT, and the countdown for the validity of the pass starts then. This also means that you can purchase the Singapore Tourist Pass in advance (up to 1 year), and tap in on a later date to start the validity then. Just remember to note the refundable rental deposit limit of 5 days from the date of purchase.

(No prizes for guessing why I purchased the Singapore Tourist Pass.)

Just keep tapping as you wish on basic bus services, MRT, and LRT as you wish throughout the validity of your purchased pass.
