If NJC starts late, send your child a little bit later than 7.20 am. The jam should ease off a bit. The Hillcrest road should have been cleared by then. But do look out for sometime unusual long queue. If from far you can see rows of car lining up the left side before Hillcrest, then drop your child off at the bus stop.

          I actually didn't see a queue of cars at Hillcrest when I drove by around 7.15am

              Yes. I told you I did the test drives on 2 separate occasions during the 4th school term of the year in Sept & Oct.

                You did ? Paiseh old apek like me got memory lapse. Hahaha :oops:

                So, just to reconfirm,

                a) your test also conclude that the jam along Bkt Timah Rd after turning left from Eng Neo Ave is not bad ? Can I know how long it takes from that corner to under the bridge at NJC ?

                b) how many minutes it takes to drive the whole length of Eng Neo Ave ?

                Thanks

                  Wah lao - then I *lao a-por* already, ah. My eldest older than your eldest, leh. haha.

                  Read the 1st page where you first asked this question on this topic. šŸ˜‰

                  I cannot remember the exact timings, but I think I left bishan around 6.50 or 6.55am and reach njc around 7.10 to 7.15am each time.

                  I remember using Eng Neo from Bishan took me less time than using the Bukit timah exit via Adam Rd.

                    Thanks but actually I am referring to more specific question.

                    Q1:
                    I actually wanted to know the duration/time taken to drive from the Eng Neo/Bkt Timah junction to under the bridge at NJC (this question is bascially to determine the time taken along that short stretch of Bukit Timah Road)

                    Q2:
                    This question is actually to determine the time taken to drive along the Eng Neo Ave itself (ie from the time you exit at PIE until you reach Bkt Timah Road)

                    Thanks

                      I think it's around 15+mins from Adam Rd where the jam starts to the u-turn to the road in front of njc.

                      If use PIE, no jam for me bc I exit to pie from Adam Road (before the jam starts for Bkt Timah rd). And the whole stretch down Eng Neo takes only like 10 mins at most.
