      Ur boy has to make 3 changes on his current route. Hv u tot abt taking the bus from Bukit Timah Rd to Bugis MRT and continue as before from there?
      This way, he cuts down on one change at Raffles MRT and less overall waiting time and longer travelling time in a roundabout way from Newton MRT to Raffles MRT for the change which will pass through Bugis subsequently.

      Vito can consider this route too.

      another option is to move house lor ... say tua payoh or thomson or queenstown or ghim moh

      Moving house option was discussed in detail earlier ... which estate you think is the best ?

          i do reasearch on the transitlink web now! think 170 will bring him to Bugis Station.
          Yes, 170 will bring him to Bugis MRT.

                  I am also thinking of giving on monthly basis.

                  But how much you think the kid should bring daily ?

                        I've had to increase his pocket money to S$25/week already bc njc food around S$2 minimum. In my girl's school, food from S$1 upwards so S$20/week still good.
