Before you go
What the guide flags for wheelchair users.
- One of the easiest cities in Asia on wheels. Every MRT station has lifts and step-free gates, public buses are low-floor with ramps, kerbs are dropped, and malls link to stations. The hard spots are old shophouse arcades, temple thresholds and the heat. (Accessibility · summary)
- Pavements: Wide, smooth and mostly covered; shophouse five-foot ways have steps between units, so use the road-side pavement. (Accessibility)
- MRT: Lifts at every station, wide gates, priority seats; staff at the passenger service centre help with gaps (check). (Accessibility)
- Buses: Low-floor with a ramp at the middle door; the driver deploys it. (Accessibility)
