Drove into JB yesterday around 11am. Traffic at Woodlands was very smooth with not many cars. As soon as I cleared Woodlands CIQ, it was jammed packed all the way to JB CIQ. It was nightmare and took me more than an hour to clear. Wonder why it was it this bad since SG side did not have heavy traffice entering JB.

 

On the way back to SG, the causeway going to JB was still jammed.

 

Normally on Sunday, traffice entering JB is light but now have second thought about going in.

 

for the past few trips i went in, singapore custom very light traffic, but jb custom full of vehicles

A look at onemotoring now shows both sides of the causeway is fully packed with vehicles. Glad i'm not in there.

Today is also the start of M'sian school holidays right?

 

Wonder how many thousands of litres of petrol burn due to this inefficiencies.

 

The sooner the 3rd bridge is built, the better. Hopefully charges not like the 2nd link.

Yea.... just saw the congestion at onemotoring. Often its motorist who zigzag, cutting lanes and creating additional lanes that jam things up because of their impatience. Seems like there are lesser ppl who thinks our neighbour is unsafe... that is healthy.

wat's the point of building another white elephant? the 2nd link is already underused because of the high toll charges. unless the objective is to start another mega "project".

Sometimes the information from this hotline is not accurate.

When it says traffic is free flowing, turns out that the viaduct to Woodlands CIQ or the causeway side back to SG is jammed pack with vehicles.

I'm surprised that the jam starts pretty early on Friday evening. Even at 4:50pm, the JB side is already jammed to the old Customs. Do people really leave office so early on Friday?

Huh? It's the entry to JB that's jammed, not exit.

 

It also jammed last Friday, but I thought that's because everyone left early due to Family day.

 

Don't tell me next time must leave office 2-hours earlier?

At 14 trips per day, it won't be convenient.

SINGAPORE - A new shuttle train service plying between Woodlands and JB Sentral will be launched on July 1, 2015, said Malaysian rail operator Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM).

 

Called the Shuttle Tebrau, the service will offer 14 trips daily - seven from JB Sentral Station and seven from Woodlands Station. The one-way fare from Woodlands will cost $5, while the return trip from JB Sentral will be priced at RM5 (S$1.79).

 

KTM said in a press release that the shuttle service will cater to commuters who travel daily across the border. "It is also an effort to reduce the massive road congestion especially during the peak hours at the Johor Causeway," the operator said.

Beats me. It is only 7 trips each way. Maybe only peak hours.
