The benefits of this is that you are able to see the price up front, and also know how long will your taxi take to arrive.
As for the buses and trains, there are also mobile applications that you can rely on for the routes and frequency. The mobile application for The MRT is Explore Singapore by Singapore MRT Map. This application will show you the different lines you can take to get to where you need to go. Bus@SG is an application that is specifically for bus services. This application will notify the buses arrival time on real time. It is convenient so that you can plan your journey ahead.
The next mobile application is a more comprehensive option for you. This app is called Citymapper and it has all transportation services built into it. This means that you will only need this one app if you want to know how and when you can get from point A to point B. In real time, this app will also notify of any routes with heavy traffic or any trains that are out of service.
