Bukit Timah Road

As a local, I am sure you have travelled along the famous Bukit Timah Road.

It is quite a long stretch of road. The start of this road is near Little India or KK Hospital. The end of this road is near Bukit Timah Plaza. From there, Upper Bukit Timah Road continues and would lead you to Bukit Panjang or even further.

There are many famous "places" along Bukit Timah Road. There are many houses and private condos. There are many famous schools such as Nanyang Girls, Hwa Chong, National Junior College, Raffles Girls, Anglo Chinese, Singapore Chinese Girls' etc, just to name a few of these top schools. There are a few wine shops and restaurants serving authentic foreign food.

Have you any experience travelling along this road in the morning rush hour say 7am to 8am?

There will be unusually more private cars due to dropping off kids at the schools. As a result, a lane is purely occupied for this purpose. It causes inconvenience to other road users especially the public buses.

I think of Electronic Road Pricing to ease the congestion!
