Some commuters prefer buses to MRT. It is sometimes more direct
than the MRT. Yesterday, I heard one auntie comment that from
Clementi, they should not take MRT to JE and transfer the free
shuttle to IMM, but should take 52 direct. Because there is no seat
on the MRT while you can get a seat on the bus.
Agreed. From school to home, I can take 187 even though it takes 45
to 50 minutes to reach there, which is longer than MRT (30
minutes). But in terms of conveniency, 187 is the best as I no need
to walk further to my house whereas by taking MRT train, I need to
walk for about 8 to 10 minutes.
So, most of the time, I managed to get a seat by
taking the bus rather than taking MRT train.
