Jurong East Integrated Transport Hub

Jurong East Integrated Transport Hub is a future Integrated Transport Hub (ITH) currently under construction.

Located within the Jurong Gateway Hub development, the interchange will be located next to Jurong East MRT Station along the East West Line, North South Line, and the upcoming Jurong Region Line.

Jurong East region

Bus interchanges in Jurong East have undergone several changes since the first interchange opened in 1985. This original interchange closed in 2011 to make way for a new ITH expected to be developed on the existing site, so buses were shifted to the first Jurong East Temporary Bus Interchange (2011-2020).

However, changes to planning decisions led to the new ITH being sited with a new Ministry of Transport – Land Transport Authority building located at the site of the first temporary interchange. As a result, in 2020, operations shifted to the second Jurong East Temporary Bus Interchange (2020-~2027) across the road.

Development Renaming

In October 2024, plans for the Upcoming Developments for Our Business Nodes as part of the Draft Master Plan 2025 were released by the Urban Redevelopment Authority.

The Jurong East Integrated Transport Hub development (also housing offices, retail, F&B and public amenities such as a library, community centre and sports facility) was stated to have been renamed to Jurong Gateway Hub as part of an amenity in the Jurong Lake District.

Construction

Jurong East Integrated Transport Hub will be constructed as part of Contract J120 – Design and Construction of Integrated Transport Hub at Jurong East, which was awarded to China Communications Construction Company Limited (Singapore Branch) at a contract value of S$477.4 million in February 2021.

What if Jurong East ITH were to become the only bus interchange serving the Jurong East area?

Assuming Jurong East ITH can accommodate around 16 bus services, could the existing bus routes be restructured to make this possible, allowing Jurong East ITH to replace both the existing Jurong East Bus Interchange and Jurong Town Hall Bus Interchange?

Currently, Jurong East and Jurong Town Hall bus interchanges have a combined total of 22 bus services: 17 at Jurong East and 5 at Jurong Town Hall. This means that six services would need to be relocated, merged or withdrawn to bring the total down to 16.

Here is one possible arrangement.

1. Relocate Services 66 and 41 to Beauty World ITH

Both Services 66 and 41 currently travel from Jurong East towards Beauty World. They could instead start at Beauty World ITH and loop at Jurong East.

This would shift two services away from Jurong East ITH, reducing the number of services it needs to accommodate.

2. Relocate Service 79 to Boon Lay ITH

Service 79 could start at Boon Lay ITH and loop at Jurong East.

This arrangement appears reasonable, given that Service 79 is slightly shorter than Service 78, which starts at Jurong Town Hall Bus Interchange and loops at Clementi. Therefore, having Service 79 start at Boon Lay and loop at Jurong East could be a viable alternative.

3. Merge Services 870 and 993, and relocate the merged service to Tengah

Services 870 and 993 could potentially be merged into a single service, reducing the overall number of bus services by one. As one of them is a temporary service, the long-term viability of both routes would need to be considered.

The merged service could start at Tengah Bus Interchange and loop at Jurong East. This would further reduce the number of services requiring space at Jurong East ITH.

4. Withdraw Service 984 if ridership remains poor

Service 984 could potentially be withdrawn if its ridership remains insufficient to justify its continued operation. This would reduce the number of services by another one.

5. The outcome: Jurong East ITH as the sole interchange

The proposed changes would account for all six services that need to be removed from the existing interchange arrangements:

* Two services: Services 66 and 41 relocated to Beauty World ITH.
* One service: Service 79 relocated to Boon Lay ITH.
* One fewer service: Services 870 and 993 merged into one, with the merged service relocated to Tengah Bus Interchange.
* One service: Service 984 withdrawn.

Together, these changes would reduce the number of services requiring interchange facilities in the Jurong East area from 22 to 16, assuming the proposed changes are operationally feasible.

This could allow Jurong East ITH to accommodate all the remaining services, making it the sole bus interchange serving the area and potentially eliminating the need for a separate Jurong Town Hall Bus Interchange.

However, there is one operational consideration: four additional services would need to loop at Jurong East, increasing the number of looping services from the current one, Service 990, to five. Nevertheless, if road conditions and traffic arrangements permit, this could be a workable solution.

Ultimately, the key idea is to maximise the role of Jurong East ITH by consolidating bus interchange operations at a single location, while redistributing selected services to nearby interchanges where appropriate. Beauty World, Boon Lay and Tengah would help ease the operational burden on Jurong East, allowing the new ITH to serve as the principal bus interchange for the area.

The above is simply my thinking aloud on how Jurong East ITH could potentially be utilised more efficiently. I am sharing this idea for everyone’s reference and consideration.

I think 2 or 3 svc will move to Jurong Town Hall as the new ITH isn’t that big either. 5 boarding berths and 3 alighting berth with 35 parking lots only. Hope 335 goes to JTHI.

  Given that 197 has been skipping Jurong Gateway Road and Jurong East Central since it has been amended to the current int, it could be one of the few candidates to be amended to JTH Int.

They have hanged “Registered inspector inspection target on DEC 2026”

Anyone know where the bus interchange entrance for the buses will be at?

  There’s 3 entrances based on the mockup!
  1. main entrance in between the NSL and EWL tracks leading to Platform B/C. (just like the og int)
  2. Side entrance at the Westgate junction for convenience to Boon Lay Way.
  2. small entrance at the edge of the building beside the main entrance, likely to be spare…
  
  ps. finally getting back my “express” 52 since 2011 !! 😀
