  I am intrigued. Where do you live in Singapore that you have to travel 4 hours to work? Perhaps you mean 2 hours each way...even so, that is quite extraordinary. You live in Pulau Tekong?

  if you live in bedok and work at tuas 2 hours is possible, especially if one is travelling by bus.

  Only if you insist on finding the longest possible route....a combination of MRT and bus will get you there faster.

  MRT stops at desinated stations so the area of coverage is not that wide. MRT only bring you to specific locations at the shortest route and time so u can plan or continue your journey ahead. buses are different. area coverage of buses are wider and they tends to go around in circles to pick up all the pessengers in the vicinity. if buses operates like train then less pessengers will be winthin reach.
  
  MRT- u go to them
  buses - they come to u
  taxis - they come to u even better, but at a higher price
  own transport? - if u can afford it then use it and don't grumble
  
  experiences are crucial, but learning the right things and not wasting time learning the wrong things should be in the working mindset.
  
  my advices to people who can be out of a job for a while is be patient and continue seeking. a longer wait and pain now is better than when yr un related and inexperience results in the inability to secure a job later

  Ya loh. So, now I spend extra 50% per trip to combine bus & train, this save me 5~10 min travelling time ! !
