Why take bus?Go green and fast by MRT.

Why take bus?Go green and fast by MRT.

in some connections, direct bus is much much faster than taking feeder bus - MRT - connecting bus during normal traffic condition.

MRT fast? The waiting time even during peak hrs is 3 mins for EWL these days, not to say TO immediately buzz of e rare final door closing siren though ppl have not alighted, not to say boarding.. Tat siren is being frequently sounded off these days Anyway the MRT is alrdy running at capacity exceeding it's intended ridership (have not even upgraded e 23 yr old system yet).

SMRT loves to create stampede is it?

I don't want to be like a packed sardines in a can. Pathetic. Rather enjoy the comfort in a bus.

sinicker SG

take train from bugis eastbound is as good as running into a wall. same effect.

Punggol to Tampines by MRT is a bloody joke.

oh im sorry. if youre one of the people who wants to get off our buses and squeeze like sardines in the MRT, go ahead. Better for us.

Agreed. From Pungool to Tampines can take 34, direct route.

But taking MRT need to take from Pungool from City Hall, then x-fer Eastbound train to Tampines, take a very long time and need more money too.

More slip road more jams...Bloody hell

Agreed.Yest while i was on 23,the whole exit to Bendemeer tat runs parallel along PIE jammed up.I was stuck there for close to half an hour.Then wen the bus finally turned out of the exit,the whole place looked different to me.Cuz the roads all had changed a lot and there was a traffic light put at the exit jamming up all the vehicles coming from the exit.

At first i was totally blur as to where the bus was,cuz the direction all change so much be4 i realised it was still Bendemeer Rd.

Dejomel SG

I LIVE at the woodsville interchange area.

Nightmare trying to exit my small little Moonstone Lane just to enter the PIE/CTE.
