hi all, i usually take a cab from redhill to waterloo street on certain days, n i notice diff cab drivers take diff routes. most of them will go through the orchard road area then to dhoby ghaut plaza sing, then bras basah mrt / hotel rendezvous, then reach waterloo st.
the fare for this route is $17+-.
got one time this cab driver took another route, somewhere passing through the telok blangah area, then outram, tiong bahru, tj pagar, raffles place, city hall then bugis...
this road is slower with more red lights n waiting but the price is only $11+ due to no erp etc.
anyone has an idea of the 2nd route so that i can tell the driver next time? tks!
You already know the route
call the information section for the route
Either route has ERP, because waterloo street is in the ERP area.
Shortest route would be tanglin road-->orchard road-->queen st
Alternate short route would be tiong bahru rd-->ganges ave-->havelock rd-->new bridge rd-->victoria st
yes, i think that alternate short route is the one the other driver took.
i think i'll tell him what you said : go tiong bahru rd, ganges ave......
the only thing is that the traffic from redhill to tiong bahru rd to ganges ave is slow, until havelock area then things start to pick up faster.
it's funny somehow the alternate short route costs much less than the other one.
the cab driver told me it's due to 2 ERPs.
I will choose the fastest route regardless of gantries.
Money can't buy time.

Best route = take mrt fm redhill than alight at bugis mrt than cross the rd reach liao
no need worry abt red lights,slow rds,longer waiting time etc etc....

Very easy, use Google Map & follow the GPS route & the driver will like you. Like that no conflicts. I won't tell you why.
But personally I like Ganges, Zion, Paterson. Grange, Orchard, Bras Basah then turn in Queen St. Waterloo already in ERP Zone. No money pay ERP take Number 16.
