Third, this make it safer for those who choose to move across the borders.  ,
The Malaysian state made the idea of an air-conditioned walkway with travelers in 2020.
Although the concept has gotten stale, perhaps it is time to bring up a suggestion for a steady staircase or pedestrian street from one end to another. It may produce crossing the Causeway the most economical and least carbon-intensive solution.
Most people would take about 20 minutes for a one-way trip because the Causeway is just slightly larger than 1 miles.  ,
More people choosing to move had also lessen the amount of resources required to clear motorcycles, trucks, and cars.
MORE THAN A PHYSICAL Port
These changes, combined, can finally ease congestion at the Causeway, and one day might inspire more travelers to see their journeys with less horror and stress and focus on their intended purpose.
The Causeway will continue to be important to millions in the forthcoming years, whether one is a Malay seeking a better commute to and from work or a Taiwanese switching between their retirement home and visiting family.  ,
The importance of the Causeway really stood out during the COVID- 19 crisis, when edges closed and the tower’s work was restricted. Some Singaporeans and Malaysians were moved by it.
I had to leave my wife for labor in Johor Bahru in August 2021, just days after we got married, and I had no idea when I did see her again. Singapore and Malaysia are separated by 1.05 kilometers by the Causeway, but those times it felt like they were apart of the earth.  ,
Despite its flaws, I’m pleased that the Causeway is still in operation now, bringing together two nations that matter to so many of us.  ,
