My hope is 182, 193, 254, 255, 257 will originate from Joo Koon
while other JIS services 192, 246, 249, 251, 252 will continue to
operate from Boon Lay. This way 5 services will go to Joo Koon +
Joo Koon should introduce 2 or 3 new JIS services. So totally 8
services at Joo Koon.
With 5 services going, there is opportunity to introduce at
least 3 new services at Boon Lay.
1 service has to be feeder to cover missing link of 257. This is
the service I propose should do st 93 as well. 255 duplicates
179/241 route, so no need for replacement here.
1 service can be Jurong Lake District service. I hope 178 can be
reduced to Jurong East while have new service mimmicking 178 route
to Jurong East with better frequency.
In addition, there can be 1 JIS service originating from Boon
Lay that covers the industrial areas close to Boon Lay / Pioneer
that do not have direct service today.
These are 3 services I can think right now that will be
useful.
182 is likely, since last time it was from Jurong East shorten
to Boon Lay.
If it's five, then good la - can have two new bus routes at Boon
Lay, since Boon Lay capacity may limit to thirty (as there are
sixty parking lots and one route is allocated two parking lots)
when Joo Koon opens, and currently there are thirty three. But what
if it's three? Then we have to have bus interchange expansion for
Boon Lay, at where temporary bus interchange was.
(Off-Topic) In my opinion, the new bus route at Jurong Lake may
be an extension of route 49 to Jurong East. With regards to
Corporation Road at Taman Jurong, I do not see a need for new
routes there, where there's a large number of routes at Corporation
Drive.
Honestly, some routes are clearly likely to reroute to Joo Koon,
because currently there is duplication of resources. Hopefully
there's more than three bus routes duplicating. If more than three,
means can have one or two (or more) new bus routes at Boon Lay Bus
Interchange.
