If Singapore is so great, then why so many Singaporeans are thinking of migrating???It's still not too late, work hard, save up and move on to other better...

Finally the moment has arrived. It's going to be a total change for residents utilizing the bus network at BLI...I will drop by there one of these days.

When JP was first built and operated, it was rated the fast growing suburban malls in Singapore. Due to its prime location, this mall is able to target the residential in the west and factories workers. That is why, the 1st extension come along shortly and now the largest and fast growing suburban mall in Singapore. It successfully snatch over the shopping crowd at IMM and Boon Lay Shopping ctr. Plus, Boon lay way leading to JP was expanded.

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.

cool man the new int was like amint saw it yesterday when i walk in from the door took bus guide

(iwill be at int whole day ) say hi there

sinicker SG

yup. there's really nothing in the west side. only jurong point.

as an Easterner who spends half his day in the West, there's only JP & IMM that i frequent. IMM i like for its first three hours free parking.

and i like staying in the East. i dont mind travelling the long distance daily. even if i start working in the West upon graduation... i'll still opt to stay in the East.

SMRT's parking bay is allocated right at the end (4 bays).

But many BC end up park along the parallel parking lot

sbst275 SG

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.

New Routing

Boon Lay Way -> Jln Boon Lay -> Jurong West Central 3 for Sv 30 & 154.

79, 246, 249, 251, 252 returns back to original route. I worry for 157 & 198, will kena car park jam mess at Central 2.

oh yesh, 194 is back to glorious days back, full load!

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

chickenlittle2 SG

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.

chickenlittle2 SG

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 .
