It will also improve inter-town connectivity between Taman Jurong, on the south side of Boon Lay Way, and Jurong West Streets 41 and 42 to the north, and provide access to amenities like a market and food centre at Jurong West Street 52.

The new service 49 is the 16th bus service to be added under the government's $1.1 billion Bus Service Enhancement plan to beef up Singapore's bus network.
