History
Prior to the opening of Joo Koon Bus Interchange, Boon Lay Bus Interchange was the nearest facility for bus routes in Tuas and Pioneer to originate and terminate at. As a result, there were several duplication of bus routes. To reduce duplication and ensure the resources are utilised more effectively, Joo Koon Bus Interchange was developed to host existing bus routes serving Pioneer and Tuas, while enable more bus routes to ply these areas. To ensure smooth traffic flow around the facility, the LTA expanded the roads surrounding it to increase their capacity.[3] Joo Koon Bus Interchange began operations on 21 November 2015.
