In 2026, the primary difference lies in the inclusions and the issuing body. The "Singapore Tourist Pass" (STP) is the official transport card issued by TransitLink; it offers unlimited travel on Singapore’s basic bus services, MRT, and LRT trains for 1, 2, or 3 days (priced around $22–$34 SGD, including a refundable deposit). The "SG Tourist Pass" (often marketed as the "SG Arrival Card" bundle or private variants) is a more modern, frequently digital-first alternative that often includes a pre-loaded stored value for transport but adds "lifestyle" perks such as discounts at major attractions like Gardens by the Bay or Sentosa, and sometimes a local SIM card. While the STP is strictly for high-frequency commuters who want a flat rate for unlimited public transit, the "SG" branded private passes are tailored for those who want a "package" experience. In 2026, most visitors find the official STP more cost-effective if their primary goal is navigating the city's world-class public transport network.
