Neutrino Supercharged August 30, 2018 Share August 30, 2018 Dunno where they are going to get all the customs officers and security and immigration officials from. If it is that easy to get then they should fill all the booths available now and then there would be no jam. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philipkee Twincharged August 30, 2018 Share August 30, 2018 * deleted mod: insensitive comment. There are many possible reasons. I just give those that might make economical or general sense. 1) a bridge to pulau ubin will not be useful unless there is a further bridge from pulau ubin to Singapore. Implications for sembawang shipyard if shipping routes are more congested? 2) A midway point like pulau ubin can actually be very profitable. Cyclists from pulau ubin would cycle to east JB for food and drinks and snacks opposed to buying them in changi or even pulau ubin, thus revitalising the economy there. 3) since Singapore cars cannot go to pulau ubin (unless the Singapore govt also builds a bridge over which is suicide for sembawang shipyard and while it also affects pasir gudang, it depends on how badly it will be affected like for example they plan to shift the port so will not be affected anyway), vehicular traffic would be mainly Malaysian vehicles who will have a good and safe place to park their vehicles before hopping over to Singapore to work or shop. Don't forget Singapore and Malaysia have a policy of matching tolls and since the pulau ubin to johore link will only consist of Malaysian vehicles, Malaysia can simply charge a nominal 1 RM toll with no road charge Singapore will have to match it but only Malaysian vehicles will benefit. Imagine the Malaysian motorcycle who come to Singapore via woodlands now just parking at pulau ubin and taking a bum boat over to Singapore on weekdays and the company just provide a shuttle service from changi village to the company. The traffic will be easy for them since majority will only be Malaysian vehicles with little or no Singapore vehicles. So it might not be that stupid. Of cos there are other possibilities but my reasons are the ones that might show economical benefits for Malaysia when they suggest this plans.

Mkl22 Twincharged August 30, 2018 Share August 30, 2018 All I can think off it’s another infrastructure project where they can use to “profit” from it. Just build first. Not the first and for sure not the last. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kusje Supersonic August 30, 2018 Share August 30, 2018 "Yesterday, I had a discussion with interested parties about the possibility of a third link from east Johor. We observed that the area was close to Pulau Ubin - they were only about 3km apart," Mr Osman told reporters. Mr Osman said it was likely that the link would have a different customs and immigration system from the one used at the Causeway and the Tuas Second Link. "We may use a new system. It could be that Singapore's and Malaysia's immigration checks will be conducted just once either in Pengerang or in Pulau Ubin," said the minister. I just checked google maps. Pengerang isn't 3km from Ubin leh.... and the bridge route will have to pass thru Tekong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoongf 4th Gear August 30, 2018 Share August 30, 2018 The throughput of existing causeway/bridge is not the cause of the congestion. Its the CIQ on both sides. Just ICA staff are usually SG citizens, which is in big shortage. To go full automated will need huge parking Q areas. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
