It could almost be certain that an MRT Station will be located at the doorstep of Republic Polytechnic along the Thomson MRT Line in Woodlands. As we learned from the experiences of Dover and Yio Chu Kang MRT Stations, the kind of traffic generated by polytechnics should justify a more direct mode of transportation provided by the MRT.

For example, the Dover Station constructed in 2001 over the existing East-West line was made accessible to Singapore Polytechnic. The consideration to include the Dover MRT Station was made years after having completed the East-West Line. The other polytechnic with a favourable MRT location is Temasek Polytechnic, located at just a short walk from Yio Chu Kang MRT Station.
