mae29 2 Report post Posted February 17, 2011 the Popular in IMM is smaller.... btw among those shops you're talking about, there is one salon that offers $4.90 haircut, my hubby has been going there for haircut, quite good leh no difference (or even better than) QB house if you ask me can even purchase "package" - $20 for 5 haircuts or something like that the 2nd NTUC you're talking about (near to Ivory Height side) just opened around 1 yr ago and is very small. it was previously a Shop n Save.... we see it as a "business" decision to "eliminate" competitors I like the Mr Bean there...and the shop selling organic stuffs.

LOL... I usually take bus or train to JE MRT, then take shuttle bus over. unless, I'm on bus 99 la, which stops along the road... then that will be a bit more problematic. But i think from your place, you can take 334 or 98 to JE bus interchange, then take the IMM shuttle bus service lor... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mae29 2 Report post Posted February 17, 2011 There is also free shuttle bus from IBP to & fro IMM during lunch hour. Shuttle bus from JE MRT to IBP operates daily in the morning, lunch hour and in the evening...at 40 cents per trip. Not sure of the schedule as I walk to work daily. Only once in a while when I need to do banking / errand in JE then I take the shuttle bus. Otherwise, no point of paying 80 cents to & fro IBP & JE for lunch, and no aircon! That's why the IMM free shuttle bus is always very crowded!

Trying to convince my mom to catch the bus to come visit me sometimes whenever she is free. both 502 and 333 alight directly opposite IMM. just cross the overhead bridge and you're there 502 is more expensive (i think $1+ or something), but many ppl just don't want to wait... hahaha from my place, it's 6 stops away to IMM for 502. 333 will take slightly longer cos it has to go to Jurong Pri School side first then loop back. but if you take from the bus stop opp Parc Oasis (one stop after mine), then both 502 and 333 are the same (5 stops). but your mom stays around Block 502 area? how about bus 99? need to walk a little from Blk 203 side to Toh Guan area though.
