Fk... i've missed it...

just wake up... dunno sti;; wanna go or not... sobb~!

kcockicht SG

Its common sense to test drive the tracks prior to official opening and usage.

This action also sets the commuters ready for which direction to take the correct train bound once the station is in operation on actual day.

About the super long bus stop near Joo Koon Station :

It's a pick-up/drop off point for privates buses for factory workers working in Jurong Industries Area, so as not to create jams like the bus stop outside Boon Lay Temp Int.

QX179R SG

its quite a unique bus stop I must say..
