Boon Lay Air-con Bus Interchange


The old bus interchange has turned into the new extension building of Jurong Point. The new Boon Lay Bus Interchange is fully air-conditioned and has 60 bus bays with escalators linking from JP2 Level 3, near Fairprice Xtra, JP2 Basement 1, beside Stalford Learning Centre, and 3 linkages from JP2 Level 1.

Boon Lay depot, the busiest, largest and newest air-conditioned bus interchange in Singapore was opened on 27 December 2009. Together with Jurong Point Shopping Mall, the MRT station and itself, it is part of the Boon Lay Integrated Public Transport Hub.

The fourth air-conditioned bus depot in Singapore, the $24 million facility, will serve 150,000 commuters daily, nearly double that of the second-largest air-condiitoned bus interchange, in Toa Payoh.

Ang Mo Kio and Sengkang, the 3rd and 4th airconditioned bus interchanage. In 2011 we can expect Clementi and Serangoon will undergo similar makeover.
