autolycus:

I think the obvious point is to minimise transfers. If one lives at Khatib and takes the MRT southward to Bishan, then changes for the Circle Line down to One-North very early in the morning, it is generally a very controlled route. Taking a 74 via Adam Road to Bukit Timah and Clementi is less controllable, not to mention geographically peculiar.


Alternatively, get off at Buona Vista MRT and cross the road to the MOE side; I think there are 3 bus services (including 74 returning via Dover Road) which go from there to the school's front gate.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions, what a great support network!

I am also leaning towards using MRT as much as possible with short bus journeys. Morning traffic can be unpredictable .

I'll see how my son goes with the commute. Worst case is to move and find a place to rent in that area, but a quick look shows rental around that area as incredibly high. The things we do for our children :roll:.

Hi everyone, my son has been posted to ACS(I). Can someone share what time students need to report to school each day? I checked the school’s website, but it didn’t seem to be there.


Also, can any students in the north share how they get to ACS(I)? We live in Khatib, so I was thinking of taking the MRT down to Bishan, change to Circle Line and get off at One North, then walk to school. Thanks.
