The cost of utilities such as electricity, water, and internet is also relatively high. Food and groceries in River Valley can be expensive as well, especially if one opts for dining out or purchasing imported goods. However, local markets and hawker centres offer more affordable options. Transportation costs can vary. While owning a car in Singapore is costly due to high taxes and fees, public transportation like buses and MRT are relatively affordable and efficient.
