Paris - queue at the ticket office at the gare du nord , buy a Mobilis
(or whatever they're calling it this year). Sorted.

Kiev - queue at ticket office , buy tokens.

New York - ditto above , or you can get the equivalent of a
travelcard, can't remember its name.

Brussels - ticket machines accept notes and give change.

etc etc

to find the public transport at Singapore Airport, try to find a NYC
transit bus to take you into town at JFK in NYC.


Or do what everyone else does and get the airtrain or local bus to
howard beach subway station.
