Task 2a

The fastest route would be :

1)Walking to the nearest bus stop
2)Take the one and only bus service 222 (Feeder)
3)Alight at Bedok Interchange Central Stop A
4)Board the westbound (Towards Joo Koon) train
5)Alight at EW23 Clementi Station.
6a)Board either service 185 or 189 and alight at the stop before SST
6b)Walk towards SST from Clementi Station

Google Maps help me to plan my route by showing details like a train depot, pedestrian bridge or even a shortcut through an estate. This details are not shown in other public transport planners or maps like OneMap and PublicTransport.SG.

Google Maps would be reliable most of the time, but not all the time. An example would be this


Google Maps show that the bus cut across the factory, but in reality, it turns at the junction instead. Over-reliance on Google Maps could lead to us being lost. Like during a vacation, Google Earth showed the bus could cut across here, but instead, a bus could not access that area at all
