Transport apps for parents on the go

Taxi

Download Grab, Uber, or Comfort Delgro to book a ride on the fly. If you're traveling with your little ones, you can even book a car with a booster seat by selecting GrabFamily. Pricing of rides between apps are around the same range but will fluctuate depending on the level of demand on each app. We recommend having all three handy in case there are no rides available on one of the apps.

Public Transport

Sometimes Google Maps gets localized directions for public transport wrong, so we recommend using some home-grown apps with better localized data instead. Nestia, Citymapper, and Gothere.sg will help you map your journey by MRT, bus or LRT. Citymapper will even recommend which route will help you avoid the most heat! Nestia is a more comprehensive app that also gives bus arrival times, as well as information in other categories like property listings, and movies.

Food Delivery

For those days when you don't have time to cook, you're too tired to wash dishes, or your kids have a specific craving, check out Deliveroo, Food Panda, or Uber Eats. All the apps strive to make a delivery within 30 minutes, so you'll only be able to order from restaurants within the vicinity of your home.

Besides food delivery, there's a slew of other on-demand apps in Singapore that can make your life easier. Redmart and Honestbee are big time savers for grocery shopping and delivery. KnockKnock will save you time on your laundry and dry cleaning errands. Servis Hero can take the headache away from finding a plumber or handyman when you have a home emergency.
