Routes

The outlying islands consisted of Pulau Ayer Chawan, Pulau Ayer Merbau, Pulau Merlimau and Pulau Seraya were used to house fishing communities comprising small villages up to the 1960s.

Apart from imported crude, natural gas from Indonesia's West Natuna field arrives at Jurong Island via a 640 km undersea pipeline. Some of it is refined to provide a source of cleaner and cheaper fuel, while the rest is sent to crackers that make other petrochemical products. The country's first refilling station for compressed natural gas (CNG) opened on Jurong Island in 2002. As most of the 2500+ cars running on CNG in Singapore are not allowed to enter the island because the drivers do not have the necessary security pass, four more CNG stations opened on the main island leading up to September 2009.

On 1 June 2000, the Singapore Bus Services/Ernest/First Western was awarded the tendered contract to operate three shuttle bus services to Jurong Island (711, 712 & 713). These are the places that is in the petroleum industry. Two of the bus services were scheduled to operate during weekday peak hours only, while the other bus service covers the route segments of both peak hour bus services during off peak hours on weekdays and on weekends and public holidays.

As part of the rules and regulations, selected Mercedes-Benz O405s were converted to basically use it for Jurong Island services. It also used 2 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-powered Volvo B10BLE buses. Later on, on 30 June 2003, the operations of Jurong Island services ceased and transferred to Transit Network Consortium (TNC). The Mercedes-Benz O405s were transferred back where they have spare capacity.
