RP Shuttle Bus Services

Republic Polytechnic (RP) students who live in the eastern and north-eastern parts of Singapore have no direct MRT to Woodlands. During the morning peak periods, public buses are usually very crowded when nearing bus-stops outside Sengkang and Tampines MRTs.

In recognition of this, RP offers one-way shuttle bus services on weekdays to ferry students from Sengkang and Tampines MRT stations to RP. These free shuttle bus services are only available during the morning peak periods of the academic term and exclude weekends, public holidays, polytechnic examination periods, study periods and school vacation periods.
