Hi Mr array88, I am sorry, but shouldn't you be studying for your O level examination?
My advice is that you should do something else instead of writing in forums or following news. For example, you can watch dramas when you are taking a break.
The English language used in forums is not always perfect. You should read other forms of media that use perfect English, such as news portals, etc.
The O level examination is a major examination. It determines your future.
Please do not be distracted.
Anyway, the opening of Joo Koon Bus Interchange will only affect people working in Jurong Industrial Estate. Even with Joo Koon Bus Interchange, things will go on as per normal. So do not think about it.
Just focus on your O level examination.
Thanks for your advice. Anyway I'm quite confident in my O levels, and I have already received an offer from a JC by DSA...

Good for you!Hope you will be Minister of Transport one day..Not Ministar ok

Originally posted by carbikebus:Actually next to the Jurong Cisco Centre is a suitable place for Terminal.Can introduce another 4x service to other parts of Singapore..Its such a wasted for Joo Koon to restrict to Tuas bound svc only…Should have at least 2 longer trunk svc to Northern and City areas..
According to what PM Lee said during National Day Rally, the Singapore-Malaysia High Speed Rail may terminate at Jurong East/Jurong Lake.We should have a bus interchange sited at the HSR terminus, and have bus routes originating from it and going to MRT stations around and near Jurong, such as Jurong East MRT, Dover MRT, Bukit Gombak MRT, Beauty World MRT, etc.
If well planned, this bus interchange would have the following benefits:
- - minimise the impact on the loading on NSL/EWL as a result of the HSR.
- - more traffic at other parts of Singapore, which means the businesses there would make more revenue.
- - shorten routes 178, 30, 154, 99, etc. so the surround bus interchanges (Boon Lay Bus Interchange, Jurong East Bus Interchange, Clementi Bus Interchange) would have space to accomodate new bus services.

Sounds plausible... but lets wait for the official announcement... shorten routes... i dont think with LTA's current state of mind... it is not interested to make much changes to existing routes.. very scared la
-
Routes cannot be shortened..only modified.There is still need for buses trust me..With the soaring COEs and more rail projects there will be more additional passengers nvm about the new citizens..Spore with its tiny size already have 5.38m while Selangor 5-6x bigger only have 5.21m to date!

Hi mr jurongwestresident, shorten routes 178, 30, 154, 99, etc??? I can imagine the big cry coming up if that is to happen. Nowadays residents get extremely vocal at MP session if their bus routes can cut. So I doubt this will ever happen. Cheers.

Yes because Gov indirectly ask those mid income ppl driving cars to switch to PT..

Originally posted by JurongWestresident:There was an article on 《��早报》around four years ago that mentioned that the original Jurong East Bus Interchange site would be returned to the Singapore Land Authority and the Urban Redevelopment Authority would be developing an air-conditioned Integrated Transport Hub consisting of bus and train services, and a commercial development, before year 2020.
Could not find the article on 《��早报》website, but there is an extract of it at a Chinese-language forum.
��早报, 2010. 裕廊东巴士转�站明年底�家. [Online] Available from: http://www.singapore3.com/thread-207013-1-1.html [Accessed 10 September 2014].
Regarding the rumor that it would be incorporated into Westgate Shopping Mall - which is obvious by now that it is false - I think it was a misreading of the part which says that "Westgate has direct connectivity to both the Jurong East MRT and bus interchanges".
Nonetheless, that part may indicate that the future new Jurong East air-conditioned bus interchange might be sited next to Westgate Shopping Mall and Jurong East MRT Station.
Originally posted by Bus Stopping:JE int wont be built so soon yet. Jurong East will undergo a little change to the road structure first (A new road - side road beside Westgate will be connected to jurong gateway rd at the old interchange's entrance).
Then the planning and construction for the new interchange will begin. The location is where the original interchange was (i.e. under the mrt tracks).
Attached data and map from URA maps:
I was at Jurong East area just now when I saw this map pasted next to the bus stop along Boon Lay Way. Notice there is this small wording that says 'Future Bus Interchange', adjacent to the MRT station and Westgate.
Anyway, regarding the development that will contain Jurong East Bus Interchange, I think it will be mostly (if not entirely) underground, with Jurong East Bus Interchange at the first storey. This is because that site is constraint with the MRT tracks above.

Agree... Hmmm... From the map that jurongwestresident show... Is it that the buses will turn right from the constructed road into the future interchange? And then like that Svc 98 will exit from where the current road leads to Boon Lay Way?

Hi. I would like to ask one question.
Q: If the service guides of bus service 49 (Taman Jurong - JW St 42) are seen at Boon Lay Bus Interchange, is it a sign that when Joo Koon Bus Interchange opens and the number of bus routes at Boon Lay Bus Interchange is reduced, bus route 49 will be extended to Boon Lay Bus Interchange?

Hi mr jurongwestresident, I doubt so. This should not be used as indication. But good news for you. 2 new bus services are going to be implemented for east side and 3 new bus services will be implemented for west side over the next few months.
Since you stay in west, I believe you should be more concerned for the west of Singapore. Jurong east, bukit batok and west coast benefit as announced by LTA. I believe the one for west coast should start from kent ridge terminal towards west coast and maybe even further up to Boon Lay. Let's see over the next few months. Cheers.

Service 513 guides are also available in Tampines Int office, and last time they had service 10e guides. Does this mean that 513 and 10e will be extended to Tampines Int? No.Service 128 guides are available in Yio Chu Kang Int office, so does this mean that 128 will be amended to Yio Chu Kang Int? No.
And nowadays service guides can fly everywhere. I used to see sv 25, 55 and 87 guides in Tampines, sv 5 guides in Hougang, and sv 21, 105, 168 guides in Eunos etc.

Just saw the image at LTA website regarding BSEP. It seems that in the next few months, there will be three new bus services at Bukit Batok, Jurong East and West Coast.
With the new Joo Koon Bus Interchange opening next month (or in December), there will be changes to bus routes, to re-route some of them here.
Personally, I feel that the new bus routes at Jurong East and West Coast may involve Joo Koon Bus Interchange. Or maybe not.
Well, just saying.
