The estimated time for drivers to travel across both land crossings was between 15 and 20 minutes, significantly less than the average of 40 to 50 hours, according to the” Beat the Jam” mobile app, a company that monitors the traffic situation at both the Woodlands Causeway and Tuas Second Link, based on data from a week ago. &nbsp,

LIGHTER Transportation, EMPTIER VEP CENTRES

According to a Home Ministry standard, customers amount at the Bangunan Sultan Iskandar Customs, Immigration and Quarantine difficult, linked to Woodlands Causeway, was 20 per cent light on Tuesday night, reported Indonesian news outlet The Star. He did not specify the base of comparison.

The official claimed that it was too early to determine whether the fall was caused by the implementation of the VEP. &nbsp,

Transport Minister Anthony Loke had previously stated in May that Malaysia would require all foreign-registered vehicles using vehicle entry permits (VEPs ) from October 1 when they enter the country via land from Singapore. &nbsp,

The VEP would allow the government to monitor unusual vehicles that enter or leave the nation and to impose fines on drivers before they are permitted to depart.

From that date, any foreign motor vehicle that did not have a VEP could be entered or remain in Malaysia could be jailed for up to six months or subject to a fine of up to RM2, 000 ( US$ 425 ). &nbsp,

However, many individuals had trouble obtaining a VEP, so the JPJ announced on September 27 that enforcement may be “executed in cycles,” starting with memories and warnings starting on October 1. &nbsp,

Malaysia has not yet confirmed that all VEP needs will be fully implemented. &nbsp,

In addition, the VEP areas in Johor Bahru had fewer attendees on Tuesday night than they did in previous months. &nbsp, &nbsp,

Around 40 individuals gathered their tags or posed inquiries at the Danga Bay center, which was run by transfer company TCSens. At least 100 people were waiting for a router range when CNA visited the center two weeks ago, including a long range of vehicles. &nbsp, &nbsp, &nbsp,

Mr. Peter Soh, who was present to obtain and mount his tag, was one of the drivers that on Tuesday morning. &nbsp,
