  since there will be mrt in joo koon area of jurong industrial area in the future, is it possible that there will have a new bus interchange in joo koon area as well?
  
  is so, which services is most possible to be shifted to there?

  Joo Koon does not have the size to have a bus interchange, imo. A bus terminal would be more likely.
  
  Those services which go near Joo Koon Rd will be moved over from Boon Lay Int. It's getting too congested!

  Just a terminal there for Jurong Ind. Estate buses, and possible for future 2nd link buses, Tuas terminal maybe can close down, since no MRT there. 192 and 193 can make a loop @ Tuas Checkpoint.

  Dun think 2nd Link svs are viable... Too far away from Bandaraya

  Building another terminal means additional funding and increase operation cost

  I don't think changes will be made to these 2 profitable services.
  
  Services that might be affected in the event a Joo Koon Terminal ever exist, will be the 24x and 25x Jurong Industrial services.

  I hope the Jurong West St81 svcs namely sv99, sv242 will be terminating there. Then sv242 will probably be renumbered?

  dun think there will be anything more than connecting bus stops, jus like the role played by admiralty mrt compared to woodlands mrt. so no terminals at joo koon.

  Will Joo Koon become the new permanent terminus of the EW line?

  Nope... Plans are to extend it to Tuas... But difficult as Tuas is not so developed

  I believe the some Jurong Industrial and some Tuas service like 182/192/193 might be shortened to Proposed Joo Koon Terminal. Boon Lay is too crowded.
