The Metro
Nope. It's not the departmental store. It's their MRT.
Travelling is very simple. Residence Inn (where I'm staying temporily with my family) is in Richmond Heights. Brown School of Social Work is a 5 mins walk from Skinker Station. When I first heard it, I was like "Huh? What a name!" The major attractions here are at Forest Park and on both sides of the Mississippi River. Yaps as you can see it's really easy to travel.
Just in case you're wondering, the fare is USD$2 for a single way trip (to anywhere, any distance - valid for 2 hours) or USD$4.50 for unlimited travel for one whole day! I thought that the price is very reasonable. It's very clean, spacious and comfortable. And it runs till like pass midnight.
Oh btw, I was told that with my student card, I get to travel unlimited on the Metro. It was like *wow!*
Dad commented that he doubts it is making money. I'm not too sure about that... but I remember at that point of time I rambled about how with the transportation price hike in Singapore, the cost of living will rise.... ¶ 12/20/2006 06:09:00 AM
