To summarise.
What kind of car using?
What time u driving?
Diff driver diff strategy.
Mine case is i want to avoid crazy expressway jam from 2-5pm and me using petrol car dun see too much drop in fc like hybrid car driver who is used to high mileage
I also agree that trips to CBD should be avoided during morning peaks. Yeaterday I greedy took a $27 trip from Woodlands to CBD, immediately passenger board I regret... Trip took almost 50 minutes and after that no ping in CBD to get out. I should have rejected and focus on short trips during peak hours.
