Hi all,
I need to pick the brains of the experienced cabbies here regarding the most direct route from Teban Gardens (reservoir area) to Ten Mile Junction. It seems to be one of those bitchy long routes which are not served by any expressway.
If you were the driver, how would you tackle this?
go bukit batok road la...no choice la imo.
can go by teban-west coast- clementi right? then woodlands right...all the way till ten mile junction
sorry its teban-west coast-clementi, woodlands road...

straight up from Teban Gardens via Jurong Town Hall Rd
yup no other better way. Jurong Town Hall -> Bukit Batok Rd -> CCK Rd. Morning peak hours also no problem cos travelling in opposite direction from everybody and his brother. Evening peak still the better choice compared to Clementi Rd.

wow , no wonder u get $3000 a mth , lol .
Second Route : Jurong Town Hall > Jurong East St 12 > Toh Guan Road > PIE > Bt Batok ?
So you can wack anyway as you like, taxi there is standard route.
Harbourfront using CTE
Just example from CTE exit Jalan Bukit Merah. You just try exit Lower Delta Road Toward Telok Blangah than toward Harbourfront. With those regular paxs sure kenna f88K by them.
What taxi route you must do from Jalan Bukit Merah you turn left toward Kampong Bahru, this is the correct way, than also connected to telok Blangah Road...What also same...you may ask? So easily $3000 per month taxi driving is that so... do as you like boh chap.. Mentor Poolman issit.

I will keep an eye on the alternative route suggested by Poolman.
Cheers.
no way u go back by West Coast Rd > Clementi Ave 2 > Clementi Rd > Up Bt Timah > Wlands Road ....... this route is riduculous .
Just like from Yishun to Jurong East ....
My friend travel from SLE>CTE>Braddell Road > Lornie Road > PIE > Jurong East !!!
Always keep this in mind : Yishun to anywhere at West Area , always travel by Mandai Road . West as in Jurong , CCK, Bt Pj , Bt Btk , HillView .
and some Mr.Highway ... i mean they will go by AYE >PIE ( twds Tuas ) > PIE > KJE > exit Wlands Road , this type of Mr Highway is hero , we dun follow them .
Got pax also Mr or Miss Highway .... but less % .
Aiyo , not really like kin said , route quite standard , standard is standard , no wrong but ...decision still lies with customer . How if they sekali dun like to go by the standard route ? They got money to ply the slightly longer , but less traffic lights route ?
So best option is ask .
Always ask : " So how u want me to go , left better for you , or right u prefer ? "
If they reply : " Any way , shorter , then we go by the standard route "
When they decided , if route stuck in a jam , at least we are well defended , it's their decision .
If u humtum , and stuck in a jam , u will kena from pax .
Simple defensive theory .

SLE can go the other way to BKE then down to CCK. If want go juro, can take KJE...
I do love the Mr/Ms Highways-Fastest-Route. But they are so hard to come by.
I do notice that there are more, so much more Mr. Highway than Ms.
Men will normally go by the fastest but longer route. Ms. will ask to go by the shortest way even if means so much more traffic lights and congestion.
In this business, I prefer males than females....the softer gender do waste so much of our time....and they end up saving not much fare in regards to minutes wasted. After all time is money.
Just example what? is the standard route for taxi.
An example from Wilby condo destination Nassim Road.
This is tricky...Nassim Road exit you can use Cluny Road of Orchard Road.
Pax told Nassim Seven.
Wilby to Nassim you can use either 1) Holland Road you turn left to Old Holland Road than toward Holland link than lane than holland road or 2) Bukit Timah turn Right.
you suggest the pax told...which is the best way Poolman.
So best option is ask .

Ya...some will tell you, you taxi driver you should know.
Ya...some will tell ...i am local not tourist.
Ya...If they reply."any way, shorter, then we go by the standard route"
ha...so example....From sommerville estate road on Holland side on-call. destination hitachi tower in the morning peak hour. So after exit from the estate it is Holland Road.
So Poolman you millionair Taxi driver what you will do, which way?
Best option is to ask...I did.
Pax told.... as your like.
So see what is your proposal.
Me did the standard route. Kenna F88K. Why?
From Holland road>Napier>Grange>Irwell Bank>Kim Seng>Havelock>Upper Pickering> Church Street>Collyer Quay.
What wrong? kenna F88K on this.
alvin, PIE ok but cannot exit Serangoon, should exit at Stevens Road. i last time oso exit Serangoon, kena left/right/center from abnn pax.

yes Old Holland Road > Holland rd is the best .... to use Duneran Road , u need to U-turn , then go by Law Faulty , exit Nassim road too far .
I am so sure pax will chose Old Holland Road .
