Feeder Service 902 provides a direct bus connection for Republic Polytechnic Students & Staff from Woodlands Interchange & MRT Station.
Despite the short distance between Woodlands MRT and Republic Polytechnic, many students take the bus out of convenience and affordability owing to the distance-fare structure (i.e. transfer discount).
At just 1.0km, Service 902 is the shortest feeder route, and the only feeder route to not operate in a loop. During other times of day, Bus Service 169 also offers bus connection between Woodlands Int and Republic Polytechnic.

902 rather it be withdrawn as it only serves 2 bus stops… it is a waste of SDs to operate on that service.
Then RP students will have to squeeze in 169
ok and?
Can be made to a private bus service or run BYD C6s on this route.
If I remember correctly, this thing’s operating hours were already reduced once
And now they’re like, “Have fun with 1 extra less hour guys”
But then, if it’s a cost thing, it’s understandable
