I seldom have good things to say about Boon Lay but these days, I'm really thankful for the new Pioneer MRT Station. Now, I can go home from campus safely and in bliss without interacting with the Boon Lay interchange mob or having to evade the crosshair of flyer distributors/insurance vultures. On a more quantitative note, travel time is shortened by approximately 10 minutes (7 minutes on the bus and 3 minutes on the train that used to park at Boon Lay waiting to depart). So a shorter and more pleasurable homeward-bound journey it has become. Now if only the same can be done in the opposite direction, the world will definitely become a happier place to live in. 179B from Pioneer to NTU, anyone?
