If ppl do what you say there will be lesser jam at the customs. But ppl are one kind wan. When coming back they take their time to have lunch, go grocery shopping, pump petrol full tank, by the time reach the custom 3+pm. That's when the queue grow like crazy.

In the jam you see ppl get out of their cars(not the driver) walk to the custom for toilet break. Then walk back to their cars. Mostly women and children.

Must maximize time overseas mah that’s why. Save the precious leave

S'porean took 7 hours just to drive back from Johor Bahru to S'pore on Sunday

A Singaporean man was stuck along the Second Link for three hours on Sunday, June 19 -- only to give up waiting there and making a U-turn to re-enter Singapore via the Woodlands checkpoint and finally clearing immigration at 9pm.

He backside itchy while queueing at the 2nd link he decided to u-turn and head to causeway before crossing into sg. Of course the whole journey took 7hrs.

My family and i were there also on the 19th, around 3.40pm using the 2nd link but we were lucky. The lane we were in was crawling faster than others.  We even went for toilet break after we cross the custom gantry(JB). They let us use the staff toilets. A lot of cars stop at the side like we did and went to the toilet. I dunno why at some point the queues were in a total standstill at JB side. Maybe change shift. Reach sg, past the custom just before 6pm. Wtf, 2+hrs.

If he were to be patient and waited he would have reached sg earlier than we did.

I reached 2nd Tuas around 8:30pm on 19th. Out of Tuas CIQ by 9:50pm.

While in the q, I saw on Telegram Group that says JB CIQ back flow till ERL Liao.
 

[Enye]

i went to jb a couple of times 2 weeks back...took the tuas crossing both times

the malaysian side immigration seemed to be in a go very slow mode both ways in and out these days post covid...so beware

once when coming back....the officer finished stamping the passports, stacked up nicely and then left on the table for a min or 2 to let the next car waiting move on to another counter before handing back to me.

there was little traffic so i didn't really mind the delay but if the traffic builds up going forward then with this kind of working attitude, i can only say good luck 

i will definitely reduce the trip frequency once the jam goes more than 1 hour to clear both immigrations ....so others can enjoy going to jb

😬😅

I think they only started to open more gantries after 4pm. Before that the queues were in a total standstill. 

The custom officers also sian. They sit there dunno for how long.

I suspect their computer system is slow. Can see officer wait 30 sec to 1 min per passport.

Are all these app better than googlemap or waze? I am aware beat the jam derives its data from googlemap but it usually add like 30 mins to googlemap's estimated ETA. 

Based on my real life experience, BTJ is more representative than the traffic cam one. I don't use waze or google map to see the timing cos u need to choose a destination first in order to get the timing so it's not just the delay on the causeway per se.

Thanks for sharing. I usually key in KSL mall to estimate travel time, if you want to be anal, can use the Shell petrol station right outside of JB CIQ.

Actually, it is not accurate most of the time.

Last month, I was stuck at the direction towards causeway heading back to Singapore, for close to 4 hours. I was at the Tuas side. Google maps recommended me to take the causeway instead of 2nd link. I made a long detour.

The estimated waiting time of 20 mins shown on Google maps wasn’t the case. My friend cleared Tuas in an hour.

Anyway, google maps saved me many times. So I would not begrudge it.
