but I still think that it is better to start at punggol coast int instead of punggol int cause punggol coast there does not have a bus that goes to tai seng mrt. punggol int have 43 already so no much difference. punggol coast int then punggol way then punggol Central all the way to the end then express to kpe then upper paya lebar road to stop at tai seng mrt station and vice versa.
as suspected it just takes the shortest way to kpe. but clearly whoever did this just copy 458’s info without checking the road name
yup as speculated it just shoots down punggol central, no funny business. the poster clearly just copied the road names from 458 lol
If I were to guess this service’s route…
Punggol Stn – Punggol Ctrl – KPE – Tai Seng MRT
So this actually turned out to be true
no surprise i guess
most likely punggol coast int then punggol way then punggol north Ave or punggol drive then punggol east sengkang east drive then buangkok drive then tpe then tai seng.
I want to enquire about the poster. is this actually true or fake info? the bus stop the bus stop no and road name doesn’t tally at all. I think let’s wait for the official info out then comment on the route.
