Premium Bus service from Buangkok to Raffles place and Shenton way.
To all those who work in Raffles place / Shenton way, living in Buangkok Green / Hougang . Good news!
There is premium bus service that run through our estate to our workplace. Now you have an option of paying abit more for a comfortable journey all the way to town. I have been taking this SMRT 599 for awhile now. The first bus stop is opposite Hougang Green shopping central and it only has a single departure time at 7.45am. To my surprise today, I saw a $5 bucks deducted of from my ezlink. Yes, they did a 25% upwards revision from $4 to $5 on Nov 8.
This prompted me to find an alternative, either to revert back to taking bus 27 to Buangkok MRT and Buangkok MRT to Dolby Ghaut to Rafflesplace. Yes it does sounds like an arduous journey. Alot of walking to do especially in long sleeves and pants that also equates to wetting my shirt when I reached office.
After doing alittle research online, I found another cheaper premium bus service alternative. This bus is 723 that also plys similar route as 599 I would think since its starting opp. Hougang green as first stop too. It cost $3.50(cash only) and it runs at 8.15am and 8.30am using travel coach unlike the long sausage smrt bus. I will be trying out tomorrow, this also means I get to sleep alittle longer and hopefully it turns out to be even wonderful journey to work.
How about from raffles place to IMH in the morning ?
