ANYONE can buy the autopass. they'll come up to ur car to confirm ur plate number. they 'll give u a small chit, then go to next counter, side-by-side only, and fill out one form. they proceed to get the autopass (which is infront the counter as well) pay S$10, get user manual and the card. Inside got map to autopass top-up locations (as the card only got S$4 only, but any 7-11 can do) the card is valid for 5 years, and not transferable to other cars. every checkpoints got camera pointing at ur number plate. side note: when oming back into malaysia, need to pay RM1.20 (if not mistaken) using touch n go, which i didnt bring. simply press the buzzer and tell them u havent got any tng card, the'll come over, and u pay cash. this one i dunno if i missed the sign saying need to hv tng ready on the lanes, maybe other lanes got cash only lanes, plan ur route and get a map |

^we took almost one whole day to cover the entire zoo
note: -bring umbrella/raincoat, as it tend to rain out of the blue. -no need bring food as there's a couple of food joints in the zoo, we got S$1 voucher for Ah meng restaurant for every zoo ticket, can use for the ah meng INSIDE the zoo, not the one up front. (for muslims, bring own food, dunno there halal or not) |

BUT singapore buses all got aircon that WORKS so we park at city square > walk to jb mall? > take a rm1.20 bus bus no. 950 > checkpoint(need to walk alot)then ride same bus > some sg bus station, board bus heading for harbourfront(1 hour ride, intrakota-like bus) > lunch at harhourfront while waiting for sentosa bus (S$2 i think)> arrive sentosa. all in all it took me about 2 hours from jb to sentosa (the ride and the wait). I suggest anyone to take the tune hotel route above for convenience and peace of mind. you no need to hunt for a seat like normal bus. |
