Meanmachine Supercharged October 5, 2014 Share October 5, 2014 Many of my buddy are cutting down JB trips and some are giving to a miss altogether. maybe once a month or when occasion calls for it. I honestly do not see saving of $15-$17 matters, let alone need to top up toll fees for next trip. One can see car washer, bangla waving frantically asking you to come in . . how bad it can be ! ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a couple of weeks, nothing to do in SG or very expensive to do small things in SG, all cheong MY again. LOL..... are we pathetic? no, it is just being human and if there are no jams, I would go in more often. Nice people, nice malls (got seats to rest), nice highway to burn carbon and nice 2.5x discount. Too bad it is not that safe, otherwise half of SG will be there during the weekends.

I dont think there's any fighting here. See through the wayang & its all a game plan in preparation for MRT & Railway commute. Both sides need funding for that as well as 'encourage' more marginal drivers to switch to using them when its ready. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ksim Clutched October 6, 2014 Share October 6, 2014 http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/singaporeans-flock-to-jb/1400866.html Useless reporter , report for the sake of report Did he even check the camera over a period of time? Singaporeans flock to JB over long weekend despite increase in toll charges By Leong Wai Kit POSTED: 06 Oct 2014 21:03 SINGAPORE: Long weekends are usually when Singaporeans choose to venture across the Causeway to indulge in their favourite pastimes of shopping, eating and other activities, and this Hari Raya Haji long weekend was no exception. Many Singaporean commuters made trips across the Causeway over the festive weekend, despite the recent increase in toll charges on both sides od the Causeway. The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority had said it expected heavy traffic across the Causeway during the festive period, and some commuters said they spotted many Singapore-registered cars over the weekend. The raised toll charges now make it five times more expensive to make a trip to Johor Bahru and back, using the Causeway. However, some drivers who frequent Johor Bahru - as well as two firms that plan driving tours to Malaysia - said the raised toll charges are unlikely to change their habits as they do not pay the charges every day. They can also choose to share the cost of the charges with passengers in their cars. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
