Pioneer MRT Station (EW28) is an above-ground station along the East West Line (EWL). It is located along Jurong West Street 63, near the junction with Pioneer Road North.
The station opened in February 2009 as part of the Boon Lay Extension of the EWL. It takes its name from the nearby Pioneer Road North, an extension of the Pioneer Road that stretches far into Tuas. Formerly called Jalan Besi, it was later renamed after the pioneering National Iron & Steel Mills.
Pioneer station is built in the heart of the Jurong West residential estate, serving nearby HDB residential developments, community amenities, and schools. Bus services connect the station with Nanyang Technological University (NTU), the Jurong Industrial Estate, and other parts of the Jurong West estate.
