Joo Koon MRT Station (EW29) is an elevated Mass Rapid Transit station along the East West Line in Jurong and also the western terminus for the line.
It is named after Joo Koon Circle, the road which the station lies on, and the road in turn was named after Joo Koon Village, a rural Chinese settlement that stood in the area before the area became an industrial estate in the 1960s. This station links the people working in Joo Koon to the rest of the island via rail. It can also serve those working in Lok Yang and Benoi if there is proper transportation connecting them to the station.
The roof of the station resembles those of stations along the eastern section of the East West Line and is curved with glass openings to allow the utilization of natural lighting, similar to that of Pioneer. Orange is the selected colour scheme for this station.

Famous quotes containing the word station:
“When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
