Hi mummies & daddies


My girl is currently P4 at SMPS and we are contemplating moving to Punggol next year. My main concern would be the travel time to/fro school. Would appreciate if anyone can enlighten us on the following:

1. School bus - What is the pick up/drop off time and how much?

2. By Car - Is the morning traffic from Punggol to town really that bad as what many are telling me? Which is best route to take and what is the estimated travelling time to reach sch?

3. By MRT - I heard early morning trains are really packed as well at Punggol station. Is that true?

Looking forward to your replies.
Thank you in advance.

Anyone knows the estimated time to and fro from Bukit Batok? What time in the morning will the school bus pick up? Still hesitating whether to put my gal into SMPS. Worried it will be too long a journey for the poor kid.

I'll try to answer as I live in Punggol

1. If traveling by school bus the best is to start at the beginning of the year, as they need to plan the route
. It's difficult to change their route mid year as it will affect other children pick up time.
My girl took school bus when she was in P1 , the transport company makes it a point to sent the P1 kids first.

E.g. If there's a p1 and p4 girls staying in Punggol they will alight the p1 girl first. My girl used to reached home by 210pm. The school bus normally move off from SMPS around 145pm

2. I drive my kid to school now. It takes 20mins to reach using KPE. The lastest I leave home @645am

3. MRT ???? Not too sure, never tried @ that timing b4

Hope information helps
