  Need help!

   

  Besides car, taxi and mrt, is there any private or public bus that can take to work from Tanah Merah to Jurong East every morning?

   

  Saw 506 however unsure the journey time but it looks like the time taken will even be longer than going by mrt.

   

  Hope to have your help in planning the fast route for me as home is near tanah merah but new workplace is at Jurong East.

  MRT is much faster then buses.

  SP error , should be Tanah Merah instead of Taneh Merah.

  That's even longer than 506. You even have to take a bus to Bedok.

  Thanks everyone for your kind replies!!!

  Seems like MRT is still the one and only fastest mode.....

  Anyone know if there are private bus plying from Tanah Merah MRT to Jurong East???

  
  

  Wonder why all morning special buses e.g. bus plus, premier bus, etc. only cater for ppl working at CBD.  Why aren't there any buses to take care of the needs for pple who live in east but work in west and vice versa...?

  MRT is the fastest.

  But if you want all-bus, then you can choose any of these, they will take more than an hour:

  1. service 2 to Kallang MRT, transfer to service 985 to Bukit Batok, transfer to service 66.

  2. service 31 to Marine Parade, transfer to service 36 to Raffles Ave, transfer to service 97.

  3. service 45 to Eunos Link, transfer to service 93 to Lornie Rd, transfer to service 52.
