yeap, that's true, but for me this just a temporary, as my job here in jurong island is until the project was done, and i'm away for other jobs nod.gif

but really, riding bike in and out singapore daily for office hours takes around 4 hours, just to go and back from work, and sometimes longer, depends the situation at the immigration.. last time i don't know what happen, the jam stuck almost 3 hour to get past on the evening  sad.gif

you go by Tuas? Tuas jam is crazy because they have less counters. For me, If start work at 9am, I just need to leave home at 6:30am. When go back, I agree the Jam is crazy. Because they have lesser counters when going out compare to coming in. Leave office at 6pm, reach causeway at 6:30pm. Usually will only cross around 8-8:30pm. But its just a personal choice. has been doing this for the past 5 years and used to it already. No big deal.

Its important for SG to get to you to work on time for their economy. After you done your contribution end of the day, you are on your own back to your country. Now you know why the 2 journey duration are different, sad right?

partially true... the reason the can't expand the exit is because of limited space. Morning its faster because they convert the old kastam into bike lanes. But going out, there is no place to expand.

let's say they do that, they might facing crisis as their people will always come to Malaysia for shopping or buy property, and even staying in Malaysia as much cheaper due to currency exchange won't they? icon_rolleyes.gif

they won't do that. Their aim is to reduce the number of vehicles in SG. They prefer to build MRT for us to commute rather than increase the check point capacity.

Is that true? Motorbike will take even longer than cars?
Then on average how long does motorbike will take?

30mins for cars to cross doesnt sound so bad to me.. But what time crossing we r talking about? 7am?

When going in from JB to SG. (causeway)
exclude your travel time, to be on the safe side, U need to spare 1 hour 30 mins for queue. It really depends on your luck, if you manage to enter the fast lane, U will crossed within 20 mins, If you suay suay got halau to the back, 1 hour is expected. This I am talking about 6:30-7am.

If you leave home at 5am, you can cross in around 30-40 mins. But don't put too high hopes also. Sometime it might take u to an hour.

When going back SG to JB (causeway)

Sometime I leave office at 6pm, reach causeway around 6:25 to 6:30. Always needs minimum 1 hour 30 mins to cross. It would be consider lucky if you manage to reach home before 9pm. Queue wise usually its 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours (unavoidable). Also don't bother going back late. Even you go back at 12am, there will still be a 20-30mins queue waiting for you. unless we are talking about 2:30-4am. then its smooth.
