This keeps bugging me. Woodlands ave 3 to SGH. Courier company employee, now passenger told me fastest to SGH...BKE-PIE-Clementi Ave 6-AYE-Lower Delta.

I had asked this before and the replies was BKE-PIE-Stevens.

Maybe QX179 could help enlightened how ambulance drivers plan their routes.

Poolman SG

Lion , fastest might not be cheapest .

vice versa , cheapest , might not be fastest .

Poolman SG

On Christmas Eve , went to Night Safari

12MN .

7 paxes , four took mine , 3 took Comfort Mercedes .

Destination : Scarlet Hotel .

I took BKE > PIE > Clementi Ave 6 > AYE > Clemenceau Ave , and so on .

Meter $29.00

That Merc , if i am not wrong , he took Stevens Road , Cavenagh and so on

His meter $25.00

What does that tell you ?

Poolman SG

As per my experience , Woodlands via AYE definitely longer , but direct , need not go through several traffic lights along Queensway .

PIE , must go through Eng Neo , Dunearn Road , Farrer Road , walan eh ..... boring sia this route .

What about SLE > CTE ?

My choice if to go to SGH .

Wah... Night Safari to Scarlet Hotel should be BKE, PIE, Stevens Rd,Paterson Rd, Havelock , then South Bridge Rd rite?

Or Mandai, Lentor, CTE, Havelock, Then South Bridge Rd

Or if go by your way, exit Clementi Rd, rather than Clementi Ave 6...

Mvp30sg SG

From Woodlands to SGH, for me same as poolman will prefer SLE, CTE, Exit Bukit Merah...

But still ask first which way they prefer lor... But always standard answer one... The Fastest way!

Mvp30sg SG

For me, if there's an alternative route, I always choose PIE last...

Really hate PIE, so many motorcycle... PUI!!!

thelionsleepstonight SG

Fastest, not the shortest or cheapest. In this instance, the customer gave me directions which she is certain is the fastest.

The pressure would really be immense if she is crying and rushing to see a dying patient and this taxi driver me can't decide which is fastest.

thelionsleepstonight SG

Marine Parade to TTH? ECP>KPE>PIE>CTE?

Sgm40 vps SG

From Woodlands to SGH, for me same as poolman will prefer SLE, CTE, Exit Bukit Merah..

Short cut to SGH,

Once you hit AYE then to CTE, exit Tiong Bahru exit, keep right straight away after exit, and into the back lane of Wangz Hotel, this allow you to join back Outram rd and keep right and go into College rd after traffic light.

Much much faster then go by Bukit Merah or Lower Delta!

ALN SG

ALN sure whack SLE-CTE…

BKE-clementi-AYE very obvious a backwards detour wor… PIE-u-turn lornie shorter and faster…

PIE-steven most phui…

Poolman SG

Marine Parade to TTH? ECP>KPE>PIE>CTE?

Parade ?

Direct leh ....

ECP - AYE - Keppel .........for me .

Yes , this is the normal route we should be using .

But taking account it's a Christmas Eve , i scared Orchard Road Plaza Singa area jam .

That's why i whack Clementi Ave 6 .

komade SG

But taking account it's a Christmas Eve , i scared Orchard Road Plaza Singa area jam .

That's why i whack Clementi Ave 6 .

Yah same rather go slightly longer way than jam......

WizQ SG

WizQ SG

Orchard Rd Plaza Sing?

Unker, you not enough sleep lah :)

Poolman SG

Keppel to go TTSH???

Oh sorry , i am saying SGH .

From Parade .

From Marine to TTS ... not much choices , ECP > KPE > PIE > CTE > moulmein .

Poolman SG

Orchard Rd Plaza Sing?

Unker, you not enough sleep lah :)

Why u say that ?

Yes to Scarlet Hotel , i will never go by Scotts Road , Kim Seng , non sense during Chirstmas Eve .

Poolman SG

whether or not Plaza Sing jam , i will avoid as much as possible .

Not worth to risk ....

Same time we reached Scarlet , mine is more .

WizQ SG

I thought you agree to MPV's route "Mandai, Lentor, CTE, Havelock, Then South Bridge Rd". then why must pass orchard, PS?

Correct lah, on any days we should avoid those nonsense Scotts KimSeng, etc. Waiting at the traffic lights alone will bore you to death :)
