  MRT least walking cos just cross over at city hall. longer than bus i think at most longer by about 15 min only. unless u want to avoid the crowd at city hall, in which case 858 is a good idea cos it just flies all the way on the express

  I think 969 -> MRT vice versa is the fastest.

  There's no way a normal trip of 969 from Yishun to Tampines can take you 64 minutes unless there's a super heavy jam along the e-way or whatsoever...

  Off peak runtime from Woodlands to Tampines or vice versa is 60 minutes solid. Peak hour may be up to 63 or 64 minutes.

  So from Yishun to Tampines it generally lies in between 37 ~ 40 minutes.

  Then transfer MRT at Tampines.

  Peak hour, forget about taking bus because it will jam like siao.

   

  yeah if you decide to take bus to airport, alight at terminal 3, its nearer to train station

  don't take the bus till terminal 2 because time will be wasted on security checking the bus before entering each terminal

  Recommend you to take 969 to Tampines transfer MRT.

  My friends who live in Woodlands and Yishun do this. of course for woodlands its 168.

  Your total journey would not exceed 50min.

  Agree. Only if you have time to spare lah, of coz.

  I love looking at the security guards coming up and down the buses.

  just one query along can give many solutions.

  However, the TS is asking for the fastest way. Some of you who recommend bus routes know how long it takes?

  ya lor.

  i think the fastest is still 969 to tampines den MRT. if bus only den 31. 858 den MRT is unreliable cuz of CG line's "terrific" frequency.

  i agree with you

  changi line freq is 12min in the morning. miss the train and slowly wait.

  ts: just curious where's your final destination? there's a lot of company shuttles that operate from there. :)

  854 full trip is about 65 minutes (IIRC). And if take during morning peak then can slowly wait and wait.. and wait and wait..

  969 is much much more recommendable since its a non-stop sector all the way to Tampines.

  We should have e-timetable for Changi Line.
