The bus services are so Soo slow n useless instead of taking the bus services might as well take grab. Do you realise people have to work on weekends too. It makes no sense for me to take the bus at Telok Blangah at 720 and reach Kent ridge at 8 am it does not take bloody 40 mins to go Kent ridge because of this I have to get down n take grab to work and waste my money. If offer a service make sure it convenient and not be a burden.
This is so real, the shuttle is not worth it. Even when the road is empty the bus will move so slowly because of scheduling, and it’s because they don’t have enough buses. When this happens again, I recommend taking bus 188 to Kent ridge (Clementi road side, can access 95 or 151 from there if needed) instead.
