I appreciate your long essay.
However, I will definitely not take 199 as it is not along the
way to my destinatio. Anyways from the starter post you already can
tell I can only take 179, otherwise I would not have posted at all
(199 I know how to best take it).
And you have not answered my question too. I believe that with
199's less frequent freq and the transfer I would have already long
reached my destination using either of the two ways I have
asked.
241 is also out of the question. I would not consider walking as
a way to enter the campus, especially with the monsoon season
nearing.
Thank you for your suggestion, I would appreciate it if you
could tell me from Boon Lay or Pioneer?
From my experience in the evening, it is easier to board bus 179
from Boon Lay Bus Interchange as only a few board at Boon Lay Bus
Interchange while most commuters would board it at Pioneer MRT
Station. I believe it is also like this in the morning.
I cannot comment on 179A or compare it with 179 because I am not
(yet) a student of NTU and I never commute on bus service 179A
before.
Nonetheless, I believe the queue for bus 179 at Boon Lay Bus
Interchange is shorter than that of bus 179A, since one can only
board 179A at Boon Lay Bus Interchange while 179 can board at any
bus stop along Jurong West Street 63, Pioneer Road North and
Pioneer MRT Station, besides Boon Lay Bus Interchange.
It should be faster if you alight at Boon Lay and take bus
179.
