it depends what buses SBS will use in e future since these buses will have to meet some requirements from e M'sian side. I would still prefer e Striders though, since they alr have emergency doors in e 1st place.
The Triton Lances have no emergency exits too. Instead, they have hammers to smash the windows. -

The cross border SMRT Mercs used to have an emergency door, and after refurbishment it also have windows designated as "Emergency Exit" with hammers in place without an emergency door. Should be as long as there's a clearly designated emergency exit , it'll be ok.In a real emergency, apart from the entrance/exit which may not work, who would try to figure out how to open the emergency door? Think they'll grab the hammer and break the window to jump out le.

Take from Tanjong Pagar more expensive. If he's taking second class, its SGD 34. If he take from JB, its RM 33. More than half price.
I knw that in the past when u board any of the buses in Malaysia, u pay the same price but in RM. Same for SBST / SJE / CW. Not sure about that now or if SMRTB have that practise though.

Pls lah, don't waste ur time and money taking KTM from Tanjong Pagar to Johor...take from Johor on. Tanjong Pagar to Johor, even taking our public transport faster than the train
Actually...taking the KTM isn't worth it at all...unless its for the experience. Even the bus on the NS Highway faster

Only coming back is worth it. RM 2.90 to clear technically only 1 immigration. Singapore side. Provided the train is there already lah, otherwise waiting a bit long. Going up not worth.
Back to topic, after clearing immigration, will there be a link to JB City Square like there is in Woodlands Train Checkpoint to Woodlands Center? Or will it be secluded like Tuas Checkpoint, only 1 way to bus bay only?

KTM also wants to earn more foreign $$ wat
no wonder KTM die die also dun want to give up their business in Singapore.
btw, the new CIQ bus boarding area is in a mess. A few of my female colleagues were stepped on their feet/toes this morning while trying to board the buses. No queue at all. Really dunno who is the person who is in charge of designing this new CIQ. maybe DR M? -

Yes the end of the CIQ leads to tun abdul razak, and afterwhich there's a bridge that leads to 3rd floor of City Sq so can cut through to 2nd floor bridge to jln wong ah fook.

has anyone checked out the new 'bus bays' in new JB CIQ, anyways how is the [bus lane] traffic condition now, is it still worse ?
-
went to JB from 24-26 dec
I must say that malaysia tak boleh... i mean the CIQ thingy
when the bus reached old CIQ from spore, the bus turns here & there... then went uphill before reaching at the bay to alight
We have to walk round & round like merry-go-round. for eg, after checkpoint, walk further then u-turn to get to city square =.=. Likewise for returning to spore.
the bus bay at the new CIQ really like changi type.
What i like about the new CIQ is the air-con & its size. I would say that this is really bad planning... imagine elderly have to walk long distance.. hmm

Went to JB Yesterday.
Saw that the CIQ is not fully completed.
Only 2 lanes frm the old checkpoint 2 the CIQ. Massive Jam, Cars go on bus lane.
Walked from CIQ to City Sq. Very far... no wonder 170/160 now stops outside City Sq...
My advice is to continue to take 170/160 from CIQ to City Sq.
Saw 2 ppl Walking frm CIQ 2 Woodlandsd Checkpoint. (lol.. no walkway, they walk on road)
