First time in Singapore and I have a pressing question to ask to the inhabitants here. How do you use your bus system in places you don't know if the names of the stops are not displayed anywhere in the bus? They are only written on a very small sign near each platform, and I almost became blind in order to read them!

I had the same problem trying to figure out the name of bus stops, but then I found the easiest way to get around this problem was to download the SGbuses app which allows you to search by the bus stop number. The app also quite accurately predicts the arrival time of a bus at a particular bus stop.
To get there early is on time and showing up on time is late

I thought of the same solution! Now the problem is to find a cheap prepaid SIM card in Singapore which allows to surf the Internet a lot (I will stay here only for three months).
I have read that StarHub seems to have very good offers. Do you have some advice?

If you have entered Singapore with any other name be upfront about it, another name is still the same person so just be honest.
