New Bus Services for Residents of New Jurong West Jewel and Jurong West Crystal BTO Projects

Mr Patrick Tay Teck Guan asked the Minister for Transport whether there will be new and more regular bus services available for residents living in and within the vicinity of new HDB BTO Jurong West Jewel and Jurong West Crystal projects to connect to the nodes within Jurong West, such as Boon Lay and Pioneer MRT stations, Boon Lay Bus Interchange, Boon Lay Market and Shopping Centre and Jurong West Hawker Centre.

Residents of Jurong West Jewel and Jurong West Crystal are currently served by Services 99, 192 and 974. These services provide direct connections to nearby transport nodes, such as Joo Koon Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station, Pioneer MRT station and Boon Lay Bus Interchange and MRT station. Service 99 and Service 192 also provide direct connections to nearby amenities, such as Boon Lay Market and Shopping Centre and Jurong West Hawker Centre respectively.

The Land Transport Authority will continue to monitor travel pattern changes and adjust the provision of bus services as necessary, in tandem with changes in travel demand.
