  ... from nee soon camp (sembawang road) to hougang point - what's the fastest way?
  
  the only way i know now is to take 169 from nee soon camp back to yishun mrt there, and from there take 854.
  
  is there any faster way, especially since nee soon camp is actually closer to hougang than yishun mrt?
  
  thanks!

  Change at the bus stop just b4 macdonalds (only stop, if you miss you will have to walk to AMK MRT).
  
  Btw, there are 2 shuttle bus services inside Nee Soon Camp. They will bring you to Khatib and Yishun MRT stations (ard 5pm and 5.30pm only). From there, you can change to svc854. Like that faster and cheaper, but provided that you "belong to" Nee Soon Camp lar.

  i feel svc 169 to 854 is still fastest.
  
  alternative & more convenient method if u r on NSF BCP is to take either 851, 852 or 853 to yio chu kang mrt and change to svc 72. time difference is minimal, but u get to stop right in front of hougang point & u now have 4 buses to change to at yishun ave 2.

  the waiting times may be killer.
