(JS6) Jurong West MRT Station looks very similar to (JS8) Boon Lay MRT Station.
Does anyone have any idea why this station is necessary when Corporation and Jalan Bahar stations are so close to it?
good question. its like less than 100 metres from each end. Probably won’t even take 1 minute to reach the next station.
