The new Jurong East Bus Interchange, which was opened in December 2020, has many new facilities, including a nursing room for parents and caregivers.
Photos of the nursing room were shared by Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Ministry for Transport (MOT) Baey Yam Keng via his Twitter account.
"Calm and welcoming"
Baey explained that the nursing room is "calm and welcoming" for those travelling with babies.
It's also meant for nursing mothers who may need a private space during their transport journey.
Baey added that the Land Transport Authority (LTA) will provide nursing rooms at all new bus interchange and integrated transport hubs.
Second temporary interchange in Jurong East
According to LTA, the new Jurong East Bus Interchange replaces the first Jurong East Temporary Bus Interchange located beside Jurong East MRT station.
