JE is always crowded so your DD has to be thick skin and try to squeeze through together with the working and students crowd 😉 But even if she miss the 1st train, the next one usually arrive within 3-5mins.

JE is terrible. Once dd has to wait for 2 trains in order to get in. I personally encountered this before too. I think they are expanding one more track in JE (see some pillars and track installing now). Hopefull this can ease the traffic. 😄

During my time.....school girls always fall into the victim of molesters in public transport which are crowded and will keep quiet about it due to fear, lack of awareness and...


Sorry this may be a bit off topic...but if you are training your girls on public transport....please train them to be alert of molesters as well.
Yes agree, but sometimes in the morning, still in sleeping mode, our girls still not so awake. 😄

It would be great if we can follow Japan, reserve one MRT cabin for the ladies. 😄

The boys wouldn’t cover their mouths and, so, I got a cough and fever in a few days. Now, though, I’m fine.

Thanks for your posts. I'm still marginally (its waning by the day :roll: ) inclined to get her a school bus. This is because, on a quirk, I had allowed her to try going to school via the MRT with her friends (twice) and of these 2 times, there was once when she could not get onto the train at Jurong East due to the early morning crowd.


Haiz. I suppose I have to let go one day, but there's never a manual on such important things :idea:

Meanwhile, I suppose I better check if there is any way to get my deposit back should we decide to withdraw from the bus service. :?

Hi runnyonempty, sometimes I saw Crescent's girls from CCK station 🙂

You can consider to train her to take MRT to school since she is already in Sec school and moreover she don't have to wake up so early. If you're worry, go with her for a few weeks and once she is confident, she can manage her own.
I was looking at the bus guide book, states that estimated time from CCK mrt to Queenstown mrt is 24 mins. Then change to bus 111 (about 4 stops). Shorter travelling time and cheaper than sch bus too. 😄

The bus comes at 05:50 am each morning and I initially thought that it was to cater for picking up the other students. Imagine my chagrin when my daughter told me that the bus deposits her at school by 0630 and she spend the 1st 15 minutes of the day in the canteen as the classrooms are not even opened 😞

Spoke to the bus operator and he tells me that its \"OK\" because many parents have their children in school by 06:30 am. Later he told me that he can not change the timing because he has another trip to make. :stupid:

So, any one knows of any bus operator going to Crescent Girls School that is willing to take on another passenger?

Anyone kows what is the fastest way by public transport from National Junior College to Zhonghua Sec School ?


Thanks

Bus# 156 or see below link (copy and paste)

156 does not pass by Zhonghua, quite a distance to walk. A better suggestion would be to take 156 and alight along AMK Ave 1 and change to 58. 58 passes Zhonghua.

shall leave dh to show him this wed. anyway, i'll fetch him on most days, so this is just in case. and when the circle line goes to paya lebar, he'll just need to take 1 bus to get home.

thanks, 25hourmaid and harini for that excellent webi.

Do you have service 76 or 43? If yes, then take any of these buses and transfer along Upper Paya Lebar Road for 28, 93 or 158. 2nd bus stop after it turns into Bartley Road is the Bartley MRT, right outside Maris Stella. Hope that helps.
