Service 194 primarily serves Jurong Bird Park and Jalan Ahmad Ibrahim between Jalan Boon Lay and Pioneer Circus with connections to Boon Lay Town Centre, with an express sector along Jalan Boon Lay.
Route Extension to Pioneer Circus
As part of the Joo Koon Bus Interchange opening and accompanying Jurong Industrial Estate route amendments, Phase 3 implementation (12 December 2015) extended Service 194 along Jln Ahmad Ibrahim to loop at Pioneer Circus, while skipping the pair of bus stops along Jurong West St 64 and the express sector along Bird Park Dr.
The route extension replaces the lost sectors of Service 251 along Jln Ahmad Ibrahim (which was shortened to Joo Koon), while retaining its own express sector along Jln Boon Lay. Operating hours were also extended from 0800hrs – 1800hrs daily, to 0545hrs – 2345hrs daily.
Temporary Double Decker Bus Deployments
To accommodate increased passenger demand for Bus Service 194 to/from Jurong Bird Park as part of the “Fly Free – Entry on Us” event in September 2019, double-decker buses were deployed on Service 194 from 11 September 2019 to 15 September 2019.
