What is the reasonable Commuting hours in SG?
 
I'm recently offered a job that I'm required to travel all the way from East to around NTU area, so it takes me about 1 h 45 min? I took taxi once and it's $32 for about 45min. Is this worth it? To and fro everyday close to 4 hours...

any one care to share your opinions? esp those living far from workplace.

If far from workplace won't even accept the job. Distance can be a factor that prompts you to think twice. If you do not mind traveling long hours, then ok, otherwise, you will grumble and complain everyday.

Depends whether got transport allowance Or not.

I have friends working deep in Tuas.

Their tpt allowance can range from $500(technician) to $2000(senior mgmt)

Long commuting will take its toll on you eventually. (both physical and financially ;p) So do consider this carefully. Unless that are many cheaper options/alternatives of bus/mrt. If taking taxis only option, this will surely affect your transport costs in the long run.

Consider wisely.

If your job has a tendency for overtime, plus you have to take public transport, it will be a double whammy.

Reaching home late everyday takes a toll on you eventually over the long run.

Why not you rent a condo in the Jurong area?
