Service 51 takes about 1hr 20 mins from NUS to Eunos, so there is a possibility of it hitting 2 hrs end-to-end.Originally posted by freakybuses:Erm... what is the approx duration of the bus routes... just curious and also to estimate the time to get to other towns... does svc 51 take more than 2 hours?
Service 61 averages 2hrs 15 mins in my experience.
NB. These timings are just my experiences and not to be taken in serious matters. -

Sv. 143 route takes only 1 h 20 mins, I thought it'd be longer. Taken the whole route before.

It normally took 15 to 20 minutes between Toa Payoh and Orchard.Originally posted by service_238:I bet you were on a single decker w.o traffic jams

80 minutes is based on my experience, it may be longer due to traffic condition.Originally posted by SBS9818A:Sv. 143 route takes only 1 h 20 mins, I thought it'd be longer. Taken the whole route before. -
Was quite suprised, thought it'd be 110 mins before. Sv. 143 is indeed quite a fast link to JE from TPY, but of course, 105 is faster.Originally posted by tranquilice:80 minutes is based on my experience, it may be longer due to traffic condition. -
