    • Hi , I've decided to open a topic on ''fastest route'' , i.e from Yishun to CCK (go by Mandai , SLE/BKE/KJE)

      And so anyone need help on any fastest/shortest route by cab , pls post here. Thank you.

    • yo volvo, u pax or cabby?

      paxs usually dont like fastest route except ang moh…

      common examples

      town to marine terrace… fast: ECP exit marine vista, short: ECP exit marine parade… no money for guessing which exit most paxs insist… so far only one ang moh said exit vista

      town to sengkang compassvale street… fast: CTE-TPE, short: CTE-AMK 5…. so far all paxs said exit AMK 5… only pongol paxs say CTE-TPE…. just one street difference….

      town to pongol… fast CTE-TPE, short serangoon all the way… short route is really wa lan eh…

      wisma to teban/jur east… fast: AYE, short: ulu pandan… short route is another wa lan eh…

      town to teck whye/bt panjang… fast PIE-BKE, short: bt timah all the way… short route can faint…

      me an expressway person… unless jam….fastest better mah…

    • today i send my bro to work at tampines fire station. after that i wanna go NTU.

      instead of Ave 10 > bedok north rd > PIE > NTU
      or
      Ave 10 > TPE > SLE > Mandai Rd > BKE > KJE > PIE  > NTU... i tried a different route which was just about the SAME TIME compared to the 2 previous routes.

      start 7.15am frm tamp fire station.

      Ave 10 > bartley road east > airport rd > upp paya lebar > bartley > braddell > lornie > PIE > NTU.

      reach 8.00am.

      crazy route but still same time. and FC shud be about same. PIE will tio jam and slow down anyway! icon_lol.gif

      here the right turn if can make it very lucky. if peak hour i rather exit vista coz the queue to turn right very long already. if miss right turn green arrow also suay. icon_lol.gif

    • yo sinicker,

      your is a creative route… part of the govt plan to build a seamless out of town ‘express’ route from bartley-bradell-lornie-adam-farrer-queenway-AYE… just missing the eastern lag to complete a circle…

      but Tamp 5 to NTU still PIE-NTU shortest and fastest if no jam… TPE-SLE-KJE-PIE also soild

      next time you can try KPE as part of your route and feedback me… Tamp 10-bartley east-KPE-PIE-NTU….can skip jam on PIE from bedok to kallang…

      enjoy

      btw, ambulance moderator is ur bro?

    • haha no ambulance moderator is not my brother.

      i didnt want to go KPE because i wanted to avoid the jams between (KPE exit icon_arrow.gif CTE exits & stevens exit). so decided to go all the way to lornie den go in.

      TPE/SLE/BKE/KJE/PIE tiring.. must rest a bit lah.. some more the SLE>BKE exit lots of queue-cutters!! go mandai also can.

      but i dont like the KJE with all the 60/70km/h vehicles occupying lanes 2-4. icon_evil.gif

    • i observe that cabs won’t honk if another cab in front stop to pick up pax… industry practice wat…

      unless the cab in front is deemed to have cut lane and snatch the pax

      even if the cab is blocking traffic, cab behind also unlikely to honk… unless taking own sweet time lah…

      u got cut lane and snatch pple pax or not?....haha

      shortest: upper bt timah-clementi-commonwealth
      or bt timah-clementi-ulu pandan-queensway (most pax will prefer this way)

    • these are only my suggestions… other cabbies may have their own preference…

      like town to CCK north… me confirm take PIE-BKE-KJE-exit CCK wan…

      but if you ask poolman or some pax, he will surely take shorter route and along KJE-exit woodland and then stagmont wan…. why? his home ground mah… haha

      aiya expressway all the way shiok mah….sit or drive also shiok what…haha… unless you tell me CCK north north 5 or 6 lah… but if you just tell me CCK north… me zoom expressway liao…haha

    • AMK to batok central?

      morning peak hours all jam…haha

      i will take upper thomson or marymt – lornie – PIE – exit batok east.

      bt batok is like hougang town… the roads very curvy… fanciful but inefficient for driving…haha
