Transport Minister launched the two new stations, Pioneer and
Joo Koon, that will form the Boon Lay extension on the East-West
line.
The two stations will open to the public from Saturday . They
are expected to help cut travelling times by up to 15 minutes.
Pioneer station, situated along Jurong West Street 63, will
serve residents in the vicinity, who currently have to take a
feeder bus to Boon Lay MRT.
Joo Koon station, located in an industrial area, will provide a
direct rail link for workers there.
Calling the opening of the stations a significant milestone, Mr
Lim said the new extension will 'help to improve the attractiveness
of public transport as a choice mode of travel.'
The Boon Lay extension is among $40 billion of rail projects
that the Government is building to double the rail network
here.
The new extension cost $436 million to build and was completed
in 3 1/2 years.
