Bro where is the weekday jam? Is it at the SG side or the JB side? So far for the past few years, I have travelled back to SG via causeway on Sundays, and can clear both customs in under 1 hour, 90% of the time.

Re: [FR] My 2nd day staying in JB and working in Singapore...

From HH, turn right and keep left is correct. however you must look for the Denga bay sign (orange colour) at the junction near Tune hotel.. Don't go towards Woodland, take the Denga Bay route first.. then you will drive pass Denga bay and follow the route all the way to Singapore.. (Here you will see another sign towards woodland.. you can take that or just keep going straight until you see another sign to woodland...

It seeemd that no matter how you drive, you can still hit woodland...

Will be very tired to travel via first link :smile:
May i know your office location?

For me i price in the toll charges at 2nd link, hence that needs to be deducted out of actual savings.
If you get too tired then it is not feasible in the long term.

Re: [FR] My 2nd day staying in JB and working in Singapore...

Bro, think 75 mins is still considered reasonable. When you did your trial run last time, what was the fastest clearance time you clocked?

Leave home at 6:15am , reach office at 7:30am..

Re: [FR] My 2nd day staying in JB and working in Singapore...

my other sinkie neighbor had asked me to travel via 2nd link instead of first as the jammed and the amount of queue cutting and the other car scratching against your car isnt worth it..

today, i woke up at 6:45am, leave home at 7:10am. Reach office at 8:00am.

Travlled via 2nd link..

Actually 50mins door to door sounds very doable. Suspect the traffic from Spore customs to clementi might be abt 20-30min. Great info. Thks

So do you find it worthwhile to pay the $20 daily or $400 monthly? For me i cost it into the overall cost of living. When you calculate the savings in living in JB, you should bump it up by $400 a month for the tolls. Otherwise if it is too tiring you will give up after a while.

For 3 years i used second link... and i drive to Bedok... you Clementi is much nearer!!

Re: [FR] My 2nd day staying in JB and working in Singapore...

For those staying at Nusa Idaman this is the time breakdown:

20 mins - NI to petrol kiosk before toll at second link (including daily petrol pump)
20 mins - cross both immigration and the link

ie total about 40 minutes to get into Singapore. Of course you can always drive faster and make the journey 30 mins :smile:

There are occasional hickup or freak jams... otherwise normal time to cross the 2 links (20 mins) at most extend by another 30 mins.

Good to see you guys "initiating" yourselves through the rites.

I am pretty amazed. From Clementi to Bedok, I already think it is far.

I guess the pampered Singaporean attitude in me kicked in again.
