  Please share bus routes from Tampines to NTU...

   

  Important factors are comfort level, meaning cannot be too crowded... preferably double deck..... etc....

  
  Please some bus experts share some guides. Thank you.

   

   

   

  Also i'm interested to know Tampines to Balestier and Tampines to Bukit Batok.

  I would prefer taking MRT from Tamp to NTU srsly.it will be faster.I think if take bus will take a long time due to changing of buses.

  Tamp to Balestier just take 67 to Lavender St then take 145 OR 23 then drop at Bendemeer Road then take 125 if im nt mistaken

  Bukit Batok either take MRT or take 168 to Woodlands then transfer to MRT

  Tampines > NTU has to go by MRT..

  Bus is pretty difficult le... Cos either way has to meet w/ CBD heading crowd.. unless making a detour round TPE, BKE & KJE

  I cnt think of any fast and efficient way to go NTU frm tamp by bus. Even bus 30 fm Bedok to BNL takes 2h++ while MRT takes maybe 1h+

  If you want full double decker route, 10 to VivoCity, transfer to 30 to Boon Lay Interchange, transfer to 179.

  Else take 168 to Woodlands, transfer 187 to Boon Lay and take 179.

  Take the train to Pasir Ris and turn back so you can be guaranteed a seat? Then just sit all the way to Boon Lay or Pioneer.
