Singapore Buses route 258

Service 258 is a trunk service plying between Joo Koon Interchange and looping at Boon Lay, passing through Jurong West Streets 64, 75, 82, 81, 71, 61 & 63, and Upper Jurong Road. It heavily duplicates the existing sectors of 243G/243W, and it provides new connectivity from Joo Koon to Jurong West Streets 82, 81, 75 and 64, without the need of taking the heavily congested route 243G/243W.

As part of the Joo Koon Bus Interchange opening and the accompanying Jurong Industrial Estate reorganisation, Service 258 was introduced to improve connectivity along Service 243G/243W’s route, connecting residential estates, schools and community amenities with bus connections to Pioneer MRT and Joo Koon MRT/Interchange, in addition to Boon Lay MRT/Interchange which 243G/243W currently serves. It will also serve the section that will lose connectivity, which is Jurong West Street 61, but it will gain connectivity for one bus stop at Jurong West Street 71 (Blk 701).

The route extension makes Service 258 among the first two services to terminate at the new Joo Koon Bus Interchange, the other being Service 99.
