Joo Koon - Bukit Gombak Shuttle Service

Joo Koon - Bukit Gombak Parallel Bus Service was a temporary rail replacement service from Joo Koon to Bukit Gombak via Jurong East, operating from 5 June 2016 - 30 October 2016. It was initially planned to be operational till 11 December 2016.

The rail replacement service operates in lieu of delayed first train timings of the North South & East West Line from 5 Jun 2016 to 30 Oct 2016, which was pushed back to 7am to facilitate more time for track maintenance and renewal works.

To speed up track renewal and maintenance works, train services between Joo Koon and Queenstown on the East-West Line, and between Jurong East and Bukit Gombak on the North-South Line, will commence at 7:00am on Sundays from 5 June 2016 to 30 October 2016.

A total of 13 North-South and East-West Line stations are affected by the delayed train service start times. However, Northbound services from Bukit Gombak and Eastbound services from Queenstown will not be affected. Circle Line services from Buona Vista will also not be affected.

As such, the Parallel Bus Service is a rail replacement service serving commuters along the Joo Koon - Jurong East and Jurong East - Bukit Gombak stretch on Sunday mornings.
