TL:DR – A Singaporean-registered Altis and a Trans cab travel on the fast lane of the causeway, but only the Altis gets apprehended by the Malaysian police.

 

There are no shortcuts in life.

Likewise, in recent times, there have been no shortcuts on the causeway.

If you’re sick and tired of waiting in the queue, you can always try your luck on the fast lane. You might get away with it, and you might not.

Just like these two vehicles in the 43-second video below.

What happened?

A Trans Cab followed by a red Altis cuts into the car lane from the fast lane of the causeway.

The Trans cab successfully merges into the queue, whereas the Altis did not have much luck as three officers eventually surrounded it.

Unspoken rule

I was very curious as to how the Taxi managed to evade capture.

Some of my colleagues mentioned that public transport (buses and taxis) could travel on the fast lane.

I even saw some comments that supported this claim.

I tried to search online for material that could further support this hypothesis, but I found myself hitting dead ends.

No official document from any authoritative body states that taxis are allowed to use the fast lane.

So, I’m still stuck with my question of “HOW?”

Maybe the comments section can enlighten me.

It looks like netizens are as confused as I am. What is a lucky escape? Or a ‘close one eye’ situation for taxis?

Click bait header... Everyone assume taxi driver will less likely have more money than private car driver to pay summon or bribe..so it is not to judge their judgement call whether  they are in good heart (to let less fortunate escape) or greedy (to expect bigger coffee money) [angel]

The Toyota Corolla Altis drive is favored for its reliability, fuel efficiency, resale value, safety features, comfort, and the trustworthiness of the Toyota brand. It provides a well-rounded package that appeals to a broad range of consumers, from practical buyers to those seeking a dependable, everyday vehicle.

    JMEV ELIGHT: Tech, Style and Value

    High-tech and stylish electric vehicles doesn’t have to be expensive and inaccessible - the JMEV ELIGHT, which offers all you want in an affordable package, is now available in Singapore. Singapore’s car industry has never seen so many new brands within a given time span since forever - I can easily count more than 10 EV brands that has entered the market within the last couple of years.

    Doing the thing, minus the thing

    You might have seen this viral clip on social media:  m2-res_480p.mp4 This might be one of the greatest, funniest things I've seen in quite a long while.  Put simply, its horse-racing, minus the horses.  And look, of course it's all a bit of fun (clearly a stunt to gain social media attention, but it also raised money for charity). I think it might be best described as 'doing the thing, minus the thing'. And we've seen plenty of gimmicky conceits (I for one am quite a sucker

    This should be the true Singaporean national dish

    Singapore is known to be a melting pot of different cultures, races, people and of course, cuisines from all over the world. You can probably find food from most places here in Singapore, but we also have some dishes that we like to think of as our national dish - okay, google says there isn't an officially declared national dish, but Chicken Rice is one of those that's often mentioned. Yes, we all love Chicken Rice, but it isn't really unique to Singapore.... Nasi Lem
