Thx bros.

I stay in Pasir Ris many years.... every corner I know and I trust this is the best route to take, probably Bartley East & Tampines A10 will be shorter by 40cents but so many traffic light and I normally dun want.

The couple told me go by:
Nicol HW->KPE->PIE->Exit Loyang->Loyang Ave->Pasir Ris Dr 1->Dr 6

He told me they have tested all alternative and this is the fastest.... hehe can go beyond 100km and KPE is no fun.

I say thank you, will do so.... fare $20.10 bye.

Bro BS,
This is the normal route I take to go Dr 6 or Dr 4.

If White Sand mrt station or St. 52 or western Pasir Ris side,
I'll take KPE/TPE or KPE/Bartley East.

If no comment from pax, always take the fastest route,
even though it is the most expensive route.
Afterall, in this society, everybody is trying to make a few extra dollars out of somebody in a way.... i mean acceptable way.

Got it Bro Donsan. I learned something new here. BN told me not to stubborn when pax ask to go a funny route.

Server whatever they ask if possible. Right?

On the road, familiar common advice from cabby to cabby :

"Be smart but don't pretend or act too smart"

Once,at about 4.30 am. sending pax to budget terminal.
when about to turn left into the police station extrance,
pax said,"uncle, next one then budget terminal" confuse

Oh, i see, from next time I always turn into the second extrance,
because there is a sign says "budget terminal".
haha ! extra few cents for kopi. biggrin

Agree! One of the biggest fatal error is Act too Smart.

@ IMM, pax asked go Jln Membina... by Boon Lay Way... AYE...

Haha I act fxxxxxg smart again, Noooooo, go by Toh Guan exit Clementi A6 faster and shorter.... they said ok your wish is permitted....

Zoom to PIE... ghost covered my eyes missed the Clementi A6 exit.... alama... nvm exit Clementi A2 though slower but still ok.... ****.... missed again.... the result was kenna fxxx up side down.

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....

Bro BS, if u miss the Clementi A6 exit, watever next option will only lead to one thing.
Your backside confirm kena open flower.

You try use your GPS and calculate the difference using all route after Clementi A6, you'll know how big your flower need to open.

Guess next time better be careful as it's a stretch that we tend to dream and miss.

bridgestone · Guru

hahaha thanks bros. always big flowers.

Want to know how to concentrate while on the road because I always missed highway exit. Happened once took pax from Geylang to AMK A10, PIE exit CTE AMK missed.... then TPY Bishan lor.... you already know how big the flower is getting pax from Geylang biggrin

Forgot starting point, time is 0100h going to Whampoa Drive, was travelling along PIE towards jurong....upon approaching Paya Lebar exit, pax says exit Bendeemeer, passed thru the ERP gantry(not in operation) and took the Whampoa East(right U-turn) and goes to Jln Toa Payoh, then back to PIE-Jurong and exit Jln Datoh(Balestier Rd).....I dont understand but just follow....

I study the Street directory and thought i could have just use PIE-Jurong and exit Jln Datoh(Balestier rd), why do i have to go thru the Bendeemer exit and back to PIE-Jurong?

Ghost cover pax eyes biggrin

for my case....pax going Admiralty Drive from Sultan Plaza...i asked which way, pax say anyway....so i followed GPS.....took Balestier Rd>Moulmein RD>CTE>SLE>Woodlands Ave 12>Sembawang Way>Admiralty Dr.

Somehow i feel i should have enter by Lentor Ave....butI am not sure, so i just followed GPS. Later, I checked Street Directory, i should go Lentor Ave>Yishun Ave 2>Canberra Link>Sembawang Way>Admiralty Dr.

Fare is 26.40....again...ghost covered pax eyes biggrin

, he give me $60....but i returned him 30+3.60 change....ya this is the guy that farted along the way....i mentioned in my blog biggrin

Bro Ace, Admiralty Drive is quite a long stretch of road, so if pax didn't have any preferred way to go by, exit Woodland Ave.12 is fine cos that's the fastest way to reach Admiralty Drive.
Again, fastest doesn't mean shortest.
