Singapore downtown and Sentosa island
I have 1 week in Singapore to complete some of the paperwork, so I was thinking to make the best use of it.
I'd greatly appreciate and grateful if you could help me with these questions:
- How do people go from downtown Singapore main island to Sentosa island?
- Should I purchase some sort of ticket for Sentosa island if I want to go to Universal Studious?
- Are there subway/MRT/LRT cards available for foreign people? Like the China's transportation card or Oyster card?
