If you go on 17/2, the bus #925 goes all the way to just outside the lane leading to the SBWR entrance. This bus service goes there on Sundays and public holidays. On other days (including Saturdays), you would need to alight at the Kranji Reservoir carpark as you described.

And if you go early (<0730hrs), the entry fee is even waived. Realy early bird catches the worm !
