SBST Staffs guide people around the new Int, many still don't know Int relocated.
SBST Staffs guide buses reversing from end on berth, SMRT Staffs guide SMRTB Svcs into new Int
LTA staff watching over the two traffic light junctions.
Boon Lay MRT Stn Staff keeps announcing "Boon Lay Int has been relocated, pls proceed to JP for all bus svcs!"
Many workers still don't know Int relocated, walk to Temp Int & call friends all bus svcs MIA
SMRT's parking bay is allocated right at the end (4 bays).
But many BC end up park along the parallel parking lot
-
At MRT station, 1 board placed for tis
"Passegers heading to NTU/ NIE, please continue to proceed to the old interchange until further notice"
I think e old int junction is now controlled by sensor.
179 & 199 BC hor mia. Alight passengers, steer right and park riaos. Departure time, move off and reach berths riao
TV displaying welcoming passengers to new int and informing abt NTU/ NIE svs

Jurong West Central 3 b/s closed, bus stop poles remains there

Simply because there isn't any decent malls in the west other than Jurong Point (3 to 4 towns sharing one mall, even Bukit Batok people like Jurong Point). Living in the northern part and the eastern half of Singapore gives you ample amount of choices, with so many malls around. Also the reason why people in the west don't need to choose where to go, cos there is only Jurong Point.
Also can't blame, cos East side, its convenient to go from one place and another cos a lot of buses and roads linking each town centre. And even though Bedok doesn't have a mall yet, the town centre is well developed to cater to everyone.
no leh, my house here got 2 small malls liao. JP is like Vivo to the residents in the west. In fact more tenants than Vivo.In the east, the old design shops, no major mall and roads that jam every now and then is unacceptable. MRT is still the favourite transport than bus. That is the reason why more ppl are moving to the western side(For the sake of their kids). There seems to no major development in the east now.. This is wat one of the agent says so.

I think JP need to manage their cars entering the carpark. These cars are causing jam at both sides. Service 240, 241 freq affected badly.

you can't expect Boon Lay not to be congested. it's like a mega trasnsport hub for e big new town, Jurong Ind Est & NTU.Eastern side still has some development like Sengkang & Punggol

if there's so much cars on e road, how are they really going to manage w/ e limited parking lots?controlling vehicles on e road for less jam is LTA and PAP govt's job

Omg Sengkang & Punggol, the empty flats there can determine the living environment there. I always rmb the forever Punggol 21 proposal . -

The speed of development at Punggol disappointed many residents there. -

Heh small malls not counted, thats why I said decent malls, but even so, all the malls are in the East.

of course timing must be correct.If Jurong West was e one instead, would it have today? Maybe you might not even knew, back when Jurong East & Jurong West (N4 & N5) was developing, Jurong flats to many ppl, they didn't really want it

Most of the recent BTO projects (ie within the past 2 years) are from Punggol, and these projects alone simply covered the whole area flanked by Punngol Central, Punngol Rd, Punggol Dr and Edgedale Plains which was largely empty just 2 years ago, and not forgetting the HDB developements south of Punggol MRT, all launched within 2 years.

lots of BTO recently have been mostly in Sengkang & Punggol.
It's rather Bt Panjang & Sembawang left behind

These HDB shopping centres are nicely termed neighborhood centres.

Let's sit down and see the development lor.
