Why I Love to Travel on a Singapore City Bus Tour

There are many ways by which a person can travel. A person may choose to travel alone or along with friends and family. Whichever way you like it, you need a reliable tour guide or you have to trust your own hunches and use a map. You can also take the help of a friend or relative who knows the area well.

I personally prefer to travel in a city tour bus, as it is safe and comfortable. It has a very reasonable cost and doesn’t rip you off like a travel guide might do. The bus is filled with cheerful and friendly people; most of them are enthusiastic travelers who are more than willing to explore every single part of the city.

The best part about the Singapore City Tour Bus is that it stops at so many exciting destinations. Where you can snap photographs, talk with the locals, eat some traditional food and roam around the area. There is no need to worry if the bus takes off without you, as the city tour bus runs in every 25 minutes. The bus is good for travelling alone and even with friends and family. If are not willing to spend lots on food, there is absolutely no need to worry as most city tour buses serve refreshments as well.

The best part about the Singapore City Tour Bus is that, it is an open top Double Decker bus. You have the choice of sitting at the top of bus to get a wonderful view and fresh breeze or you can also sit below and enjoy sightseeing from the windows. I personally prefer to sit in the open as local buses are not open from the top and view from above is just awesome. You can also sit below after watching the sights from above or vice versa.

The City Tour Bus not only visits the most famous places and a renowned parts of the country but it also goes to various off beaten tracks. What’s more, you even get to hear the commentary and random fun facts when you’re exactly that particular place!

The bus stops at numerous locations from popular places such as zoos, museums, gigantic skyscrapers, popular shopping malls and historical monuments to the not so common places such as little bookstores, grocery stores, bakeries and other local hangouts.

I know there are many people out there who consider these buses to be ‘boring’ and ‘too common’ as viewing the skyline, scuba diving and bungee jumping are much more in vogue. But city tour buses play an important role for every single country. Nowadays, many of us are capable of affording a travel agent who can take you around the city in his/her personal vehicle. But, the usefulness of these buses should never be forgotten. There are many travelers out there who are not willing to spend a huge amount of money just on travelling. We should think about them as well.
