Soho 4th Gear March 16, 2012 Author Share March 16, 2012 No shuttle bus? Usually coys in tuas have shuttle bus from Jurong East MRT i asked.. its from jookoon... and i not very sure its shuttle bus or is it company staff fetch using company van.... because the manager(soon to be my direct incharge) is a v nice guy... try to know what my considerations are... i told him about the distance.. he say its ok... they do have transport to help fetch from joonkoon to site office... and told me 830 is quite flexible.. but dun everyday arrive at 9 la... and he try to reassure that they do have engineers leaving in the east coming to tuas to work too.. wat touch me is he is a very nice guy i think from the way he talk to and interview me... i think working under him should be quite ok... but TUAS!!! haha... i think alot ppl reject coz of that ... so they oso short of ppl....
