'Boon Lay MRT Station' '(EW27)' is the terminal station of the East West Line of the Mass Rapid Transit in Singapore. It is located at Jurong West Central. Boon Lay Bus Interchange, and Jurong point are located next to the station, while Nanyang Technological University is a short bus ride away. The station has a very high passenger traffic, mainly because it serves the area westwards from the station to the coastline at Tuas. It is very large area, which includes the entire Jurong and Tuas Industrial Area, Jurong Island and Jurong West New Town. Boon Lay station is the nearest MRT station to these places. This leads to congestion at peak hours.

Namesake

While Boon Lay MRT Station, together with the bus interchange of the same name, is situated at Jurong West Central, its actual namesake is Boon Lay Place, located about 1 kilometre away.

Future plans

In 2009, Boon Lay MRT Station will cease to be the western terminus for the East West Line. Construction works for the Boon Lay MRT Extension (BLE) began in the second half of 2005. The extension from Boon Lay MRT Station is 3.8 kilometre long and includes 2 stations, Pioneer and Joo Koon MRT Stations. The Boon Lay extension aims to provide more connectivity to residents of Jurong West and workers in the Industrial Area. It would also help to relieve the abovementioned congestion at the station.
This station is also expected to be an interchange with the Jurong Region LRT, though subject to confirmation by LTA.
