Just opened last Saturday. KPE really useful for residents from Senkang or Punggol. Yesterday from Sengkang that was about 8.30am on board Taxi one indian IT pax...I am going to First Raffle Quay. So, I told him where shall we move around CTE but i need to reach there fast. Ha... CTE this hour and you wanted me to hit your target destination fast. Yo F1 in town you know.... I, think it is very difficult at this hour. Can we try this new tunnel KPE. Maybe it is better than CTE..Ok..Ok we do this. Than hit the tunnel exit Nicoll Highway exit than all the way to First Raffle Quay. Start 8.01am..Destination 8.29am. Total mileage 18.3km. Meter Fare $14.60. one ERP $2.50. fuel surcharge 30cts. 35% peak hour $5.10 GST.30cts... Total $22.80

KPE still low usages, what is the reason?. Many paxs still love CTE, but still puzzle why they love the jams, some said 70kmh is not the right speed for tunnel. But maybe they love to those 90kmh on CTE.

KPE indeed cool.... TPE to ECP under 10mins 70kmh... no jam no need to speed... damn shiok KPE will be even more cool for sengkang pple if the stupid buangkok drive exit opens... looks like it is going to take another few months... Kin, u used the TPE to enter KPE or Tamp road? you exit Nicol and drive through esplanade drive? i thought esplanade drive is closed? town is very messy now... one alternative is KPE exit ECP then exit rocher or marina south or prince edward...not sure will jam in the morning though.... that's why KPE so shiok anyone knows whether upper serangoon and CTE improves much in the am and pm after KPE opens?
