via

Upp Jurong Rd
Jurong West St 93/St 92

Boon Lay Interchange - Jurong West St 91 (Loop)
via
Jurong West Ctrl 3/St 64
Jurong West Ctrl 1
Jalan Boon Lay
Jurong West Ave 4/St 72/Ave 5
Pioneer Rd North
Jurong West St 91/St 92
Pioneer Rd North
Jurong West Ave 5/St 72/Ave 4
Jalan Boon Lay
Jurong West Ctrl 1
Jurong West St 64/Ctrl 3

If want to revert to original route, might as well let 242 enter Jalan Boon Lay directly from Jurong West Central 3, and enter Boon Lay Bus Interchange via Jalan Boon Lay, Boon Lay Way, Jurong West Central 2 and Jurong West Central 3.

Then there will be complaints again, from the people staying at Jurong West Street 91. One is about long travel to Boon Lay MRT station. The other is about having to share bus with people staying at Neighborhood seven, that it is hard to take the bus.

Alternatively, you could use my suggestion of having a new bus route from Boon Lay Bus Interchange that goes to Jurong West Street 91, via Jurong West Street 62, 61 and 71, Jurong West Avenue 5 and Pioneer Road North.

There's Pioneer Mall and the future Jurong West Hawker Centre at Jurong West Street 61. At Jurong West Street 62, there's JW primary school, and BL secondary school is more accessible via this new route.

This new route can ply Jurong West Street 91 in both directions, where after Jurong West Street 91, it can go to Joo Koon Bus Interchange, via Upper Jurong Road, Kian Teck Road, International Road and Joo Koon Circle. :)

Besides, this route provides the shortest connection from Boon Lay Bus Interchange to Jurong West Street 91. If you stay at Jurong West Street 91, you may find this new route more attractive than 241. :)

Sorry ah Jurong West Resident but if Svc 242 uses Jalan Boon Lay (Old Route back to Boon lay Int), it must used the end-on berth instead of the sawtooth berth. Unless shifting one service to use the sawtooth berth to be replace by Svc 242...

I agree that it is much shorter route rather than the current route but then all feeders enter Boon Lay Int via St 64/Ctrl 3. I know old Boon Lay Int, 240 enter Boon Lay Int via Jln Boon Lay and Ctrl 3...

[Off-Topic]

When Boon Lay Bus Interchange was at the original site back then, 242 was at the sawtooth berth. It was at the same berth as 243. I am not sure if is G or W, but I know is 243, cuz there was once I thought I take 243, but while on the bus, the bus went to a strange place. Then when I saw Avenue 5 area, I realise I was on 242. I alighted at the street 91 market area, and walked back home from there. That time was in May 2006, just a few weeks before Boon Lay moved over to the temporary bus interchange. That was how I know 242 last time is go directly to Jalan Boon Lay straightaway from Jurong West Central 3.

Whereas for how I know 242 last time is enter Boon Lay interchange from Jalan Boon Lay, Boon Lay Way and Jurong West Central 2, I remember last time when I was in p2, back then in 2004, I took 242 from the temple area at Jurong West Street 92 to Boon Lay bus interchange. I remember the bus was circling around that empty land opposite Jurong Point.

Anyway, is it true that last time all sawtooth services that ply Jalan Boon Lay actually ply directly to Jalan Boon Lay, via that slip road at Central 3, and enter from Jalan Boon Lay via Boon Lay Way? Or is it only 242?

Meanwhile, here's another trivia, from my memory:

Last time all the TIBS (SMRT) bus services use the End-On berths, at Boon Lay Bus Interchange.
