  Judging from the map, the housing areas at {Yung Sheng Road, Yung An Road, Yung Kuang Road}(basically, those along Corporation Road) , Jurong West Street 52, 41 and 42 have weak bus connection to Lakeside MRT station. I am quite certain that the new BSEP bus route will serve these areas. The pair of bus stops at Lakeside MRT station is definitely served by the new bus route, unless a new pair of bus stop is created at Yuan Ching Road, at where there was previously a taxi stand. 

  Personally, I foresee changes to a few bus routes. It is quite likely that 335 will be re-routed, possibly shorterned to Chinese Garden area - serving Jurong East Street 31 and 32, unless there is still demand for bus link to Chinese Garden/Jurong East from Jurong West Street 52/41/42 even after the new BSEP bus route is launched.

  Meanwhile, 334 is likely going to remain the same, otherwise being re-routed and lengthened to serve Jurong West Street 52/41/42, to compensate the link loss due to 335 being re-routed, if there is still demand for bus link to Chinese Garden/Jurong East from Jurong West Street 52/41/42 even after the new BSEP bus route is launched. 

  I am writing this on the assumption that the new BSEP bus route is a feeder service, providing bus connection to Lakeside MRT Station from areas that currently have weak/no bus connection to the nearest MRT Station.

  Unless a new pair of bus stops is created at Lakeside MRT Station, the new BSEP bus route at Taman Jurong is very likely to be like this:

   

  1. Hu Ching Road
  2. Yuan Ching Road
  3. Yung Kang Road
  4. Corporation Road
  5. Yung Sheng Road (going through the road between Taman Jurong Shopping Centre and the Community Centre)
  6. Yung An Road
  7. Corporation Drive

  Followed by 2 possible sequences:

  A] (to avoid the traffic jam and go in the 'opposite direction' as the jam.)

  1. Kang Ching Road
  2. Yuan Ching Road
  3. Boon Lay Way
  4. Corporation Road
  5. Jurong West Avenue 1
  6. Jurong West Street 42
  7. Jurong West Street 41
  8. Jurong West Street 51
  9. Boon Lay Way
  10. Corporation Road
  11. Corporation Drive

  B] 

  1. Corporation Drive
  2. Corporation Road
  3. Boon Lay Way
  4. Jurong West Street 51
  5. Jurong West Street 52
  6. Jurong West Street 42
  7. Jurong West Street 41
  8. Jurong West Street 51
  9. Boon Lay Way
  10. Corporation Road
  11. Corporation Drive

  Note: This is on the assumption that the new BSEP bus route is a feeder service.

  If this new BSEP route is a trunk road, it is quite likely that from Hong Kah, the route will go to the other parts of Jurong West, instead of Jurong East. If so, the route at Hong Kah will definitely go in this sequence:

  1. Jurong West Street 51
  2. Jurong West Street 41
  3. Jurong West Street 42
  4. Jurong West Avenue 1 (serving St 52)
  5. Corporation Road

  Thereafter, it is quite likely that it will go into Wenya, rather than Boon Lay. Hence, the sequence is likely going to be this:

  1. Wenya Avenue (if so, the route will loop here, since only a section of this road, of the road network in Wenya, is constructed.)
  2. Wenya Drive
  3. Jalan Bahar
  4. Jurong West Avenue 2

  This may be the reason why the route is not launched yet. Wenya Avenue is still not open to the (general) public. 

  
  

  With bus routes 99, 240 and 246, it may be redundant if the new BSEP route goes into Boon Lay from Hong Kah/Taman Jurong, since there is (are) already good bus connectivity between these areas.

  
  

  If it goes into the extension area (Yunnan and Central), it may be too similar to 185, which - on the other hand - can be re-routed to provide better bus connectivity in the extension area. But that is another topic already, so I shall not elaborate on it.

  omg

  it is service 49 , as what somebody speculate that time

  details out alrdy at LTA FB

  i think the service is to relieve load for 98 & 334 as well as to link lakeside MRT to these areas

  now, i have 49 & 334 to my home haha

  usually i take 334 from jrg east to blk 551 bus -stop. with 49, i dun mind climbing up the overhead bridge outside lakeside MRT to take 49 direct back home. so 49 is my 2nd option though

  Won't it be a longer commute since the bus will first go along st 42 and only then come back to St 41. Just asking.

  Can't believe... You are still hung up on the bus number... Cherish that it is a good route, unlike 120.

  Convenience is what commuters look for.Thats why 120 still exists.

  Yeah, it exists only because it is BSEP. And LTA has way too much resources to waste on a service like 120 which still has not picked up in terms of loading.

  But I must appreciate that the last few routes introduced sv 20, 972 and 49 have all been good routes.

  The ones I don't like much are: 116, 120

  The ones that could be better: 141

  The ones that are really good: 4, 20, 49, 50, 860, 972

  BSEP bro, 116 helped a lot in S'goon North Ave 4, though it is not high loading...
