Yishun to Harbourfront: Train or Bus?

Posted by: Elgin Chong
Preferred ride: Service 855 starts its journey at Yishun Bus Interchange and only takes slightly more than an hour to reach Harboufront, Vivo City. It is also a cheaper alternative as compared to the train. Photo credit: Norazreen binti Abd Haris

So last Saturday, four of us (Elgin, Emmanuel, Azreen aand Meisi) planned to visit Resorts World Sentosa (RWS). Two of us (Meisi and I) started our journey in Yishun. Our original plan was to take the train to Harbourfront before making our way to Sentosa. Just as we were about to scan tap our ez-links at the gantry, we thought: ‘Why not compare the time difference between the bus and train to Vivo City?’
