Don't waste your toll going to Spg Pulai (Not Gopeng). No doubt the road better than Tapah & no need to tail-gating lorries/buses but not worth-it lor..Furthermore chances of getting jam near Tringkap & Sg Palas junction also very high.

Timing using both way also the same.. 1.5hr from Tapah till Equatorial using the old way Vs 1/2 hr driving xtra km to Spg Pulai & from Spg Pulai to Equatorial another 45- 1hr (Depending on jam)..I choose Tapah way
