Before the driver can react another angmo came in and closed the door.... Spanish Village.... angmoh asked... "from where to Orchard Tower needs to pay $100?" biggrin.gif

The biggest note i ever saw pax intend to give me is $1000! From Changi Airport to Marina Mandarin. I was like...... confusenodoh, dont have change....then another china guy took out $20 to pay for the taxi fare. I wondered if he did it deliberately flaunting his wealth. bleh

What is your preferred route from Kim Yam Rd (River Valley) to Portsdown Rd?

I took RiverValley-> Delta Rd ->Alexandra Rd->Queens-> Portsdown Ave-> U-turn left to Portsdown Rd. Shall I take AYE avoid the last u-turn?

Yes bro, I would have taken the AYE from Delta.
Guess it is much faster.
Faster finish the trip, faster collect the fare !

要 走 好 走 的 路！

Unless pax said otherwise, my preferred route will be :
Kim Yam Rd > River Valley Rd > Clemenceau Ave > Chin Swee Rd > AYE > Portsdown.
I think this will be the fastest way to get there.
I wonder why u guys like to choose Alexandra, Delta, Outram, Queens etc...
too many traffic junctions there. To me, time is most important.

If u missed Clementi Ave 6 exit, then really bo pian liao lor.

Only 2 options left for u:
1) Exit 26B Upp Bt Timah, turn right to Bt Timah Ave and turn right again to Jln Anak Bukit, then, Clementi Rd, all the way to AYE.
2) Exit 22, Eng Neo Ave to Dunearn Rd, then Farrer Rd and all the way to Queensway.

If like u said got ghost cover ur eyes and u missed these exits oso,
then God Bless You liao lor...wash ur backside peh peh lor...hahaha....

Last nite just passed 23:59 after cruising few mins in bukit pajang, out of sudden picked up a pax in Bangkit Rd go KimTian Rd again.... haha too happy to hear the destination.... ok ok ok go PIE? she said no, go by AYE.... ok ok ok PIE clementi rd AYE, can? OK.

When going up ramp towards BKE remember can't go clementi rd using BKE, I probably should go woodland rd in the first place? Jialat liao... when passed DairyFarm/UpBtTimah decided not exit here bcos too obvious making big loop. How ar???

From BKE once entered PIE remember your option 2, no choice peh peh oredi washed, die die must go... engNeo Dunearn Farrer AYE LowerDelta. Done no complaint but I knew I was wrong.

Which route should I take?

Bro, the correct route to use shd be Pending Rd > Petir Rd > Dairy Farm Rd (or Pending Rd > Petir Rd > Cashew Rd) >
Upp Bt Timah Rd > Clementi Rd > AYE and exit Lower Delta Rd.
But since u r oredi on BKE, the most logical route is to exit Dairy Farm liao lor.
From there, all the way down Clementi Rd to AYE, exit Lower Delta.
U r lucky pax is not those nasty and calculative cheapo type.
