Singapore River Taxi

We've been avoiding the Singapore River Cruise since, at $25 per person, it seemed a bit too expensive for a boat trip along the river. It's a good thing that we held off because, just this week, I found out that there is actually a river taxi service set up for commuters which costs only $3 per trip. The taxi service is run by the same group that runs the tour boats so it is in their best interest to have passengers pay the tour rates instead of the taxi rates. For this reason, they make sure that catching the taxi is as confusing as possible. The taxi stops along the river are not well marked and the same boats are used for tours and taxi service. We were determined to catch the taxi and made it happen yesterday despite the obstacles thrown in our way.
It's a great way to travel up and down the Singapore River and we can see ourselves using the taxi to commute from a spot on the river near to our place to downtown in the future!
