In-train time only: it leaves out the walk to the station, the wait for a train and the walk to change lines. A trip with a change takes the route with the fewest changes, then the shortest ride; the changes are counted but not timed. Minutes are rounded and are about, not exact: for SBS Transit lines they come from the operator’s own travel-time diagrams, and for SMRT lines from the gaps between its published last-train times, which can run up to about 2 minutes from a daytime train.
