Heard theres a Shuttle bus?

if not, whats the fastest way from AMK ave 10/ave3 junction?

can include MRT/Bus combo, and the est. travelling time? thanks!!

fastest is take MRT to buona vista and then there is a free shuttle bus at this MRT to biopolis. the bus will stop at 3 locations within biopolis: first stop at chromos building where philip yeo works; second stop at proteo building; last stop at matrix building on your right or genome building on your left

the shuttle bus is about 10mins per bus

oh.. cos a friend said theres a shuttle from AMK...

yeah.. i going to Genome building over the next few months daily.. any idea of the typical working hours there?

sorry i gave the wrong info about the biopolis shuttle bus. the first stop should be at proteos, followed by genome / matrix and lastly at nanos building. Embarassed

u shld alight at the 2nd stop and genome will be on your left then. the official working hrs in a*star is 0830 - 1800 for mon - thurs and 0830 - 1730 for fri but it depends on your lab becos it is very common that staffs have to come back during odd hrs and holidays to take care of their cells, so working hrs quite flexible. you are on attachment to GIS?

food in biopolis is very expensive! during lunch time, the shuttle bus will go to holland v and back to biopolis from 1130 to 1400.

74? Because it goes to Buona Vista

I take before, can see Biopolis, but don't know how to walk there.

Take the one towards AMK MRT Station. You take the wrong one go Hougang Mall.

take sbst165 to holland v (along holland road), free shuttle bus service there to send u to biopolis. however the shuttle bus service operate at certain hours only. At the same busstop, u can take sbst200 too to alight outside MOE, and biopolis is just within walking distance from there.

and the boarding Buona Vista MRT stop is the one opp the MRT or the one beside it?

the one opp the MRT got 2 b/s Embarassed

sherling22 SG

pai say, i dunno abt this. but i guess shld be opp the MRT becos i always see some ppl queue up in the morning. the shuttle bus will have a "biopolis" board in front, it is a tour bus kind of bus. fyi, it takes about 10 mins to walk from the MRT to biopolis though.

sherling22 SG

no, i am not in GIS though i have been there since biopolis is set up from day 1 Smile
GIS has a very good environment for research and if you are passionate about it, i think it is worth traveling faraway to a good place to do your attachment. learn as much as you can, all the best!

thanks man! Smile

i see that A*Star and Philip Yeo has a strong influence and presence there..

he is my idol Embarassed

oh yes, biopolis has a culture of continuous learning, so we will invite lots of worldclass scientists to gave talks every week, if you got the time, please come. it shld be broadcasted in your email. try to be as open minded to knowledge as possible. i am also trying to do that too Smile
