1 Why the AMK - Upper Thomson corridor matters

Ang Mo Kio is a key North-Central node for students:

  • Anderson Serangoon JC (ASRJC) is temporarily at 1033 Upper Serangoon Road (returning to 4500 Ang Mo Kio Ave 6 in Dec 2027). AMK-based students will benefit from the permanent campus return.
  • CHIJ St Nicholas Girls' School is at 501 Ang Mo Kio Street 13.
  • Nanyang Polytechnic (180 Ang Mo Kio Ave 8) - accessible from AMK MRT via buses along Ave 8.
  • Ang Mo Kio MRT (NSL) is a major interchange hub surrounded by AMK Hub, bus interchange, and food options.

Upper Thomson MRT (TEL) adds a second line to this corridor. Students along the Thomson - East Coast Line (from Woodlands, Caldecott, or Marine Parade) can now reach the AMK area without routing through the NSL, which reduces commute time for after-school study sessions.
