Opportunity to set up website or app for daily prices comparison between JB and sg, and updates for daily necessities of the same brand that retail stores can subscribe.

Consult the expert sg MRT, they already very experienced with frequent delays and breakdowns.

i'm more curious, how they will solve a breakdown when it happens on the bridge across the waters. which direction will the passengers walk towards?

common sense will say they will walk towards the country that is nearer, but it seems they are implementing a newer type of immigration checks.

Each terminus will have co-located immigration facilities – commuters will clear both Singapore and Malaysia authorities at the departure point and not at the arrival point. This arrangement allows convenient passenger travel when crossing the border.[79][86] This is similar to other railway lines that cross borders – such as at the Hong Kong West Kowloon railway station in Hong Kong, or St Pancras International railway station in the United Kingdom.

So, if the country that is nearer is the one they just departed...it means they will have to go through immigration again as upon leaving the country, the new immigration system assume that would be entering the new country and not returning back.

Do you mean everytime people want to eat or massage will go JB? Lol

Not everyone stay on woodland leh. If people stay at jurong west then have to count the travelling time from west to north also. Easily 2 hours to and from.
For retiree/jobless/low ses people, still make sense to do that..

On your point (4), the food in Malaysia is closer to the food in Singapore before the 1990s. Some traditional foods that had disappeared in Singapore can still be found there. This is what my mother told me when I showed her cuisines in Malaysia, and she could identify her childhood food in those videos.

Don't be silly

Do you everyday take MRT all the way from Bedok to Woodlands just to eat 3 meals?

Ferry terminal immigration have entry lane to check and chop passport. The new system don't have.

commuters will clear both Singapore and Malaysia authorities at the departure point and not at the arrival point.

There's NO immigration when you arrive in the destination country.
See above website too.

What I was talking about, when RTS breakdown in on the bridge, which direction will the passengers walk towards? Their arrival destination, or their departure. If it breaks down nearer to the country they just departed, it wouldn't make sense to make them walk the further distance to their arrival. If they had to walk back to where they just departed, the system MUST prepare a special lane for such re-entries.

 

[lalalalalala]

Will still have. But expensive and not good. Same like how hospital food court can serve **** food because you have no choice

 

[stingray1211]

They can just open an unused lane for special circumstances? What they wrote which you highlighted is SOP.

Yes it should be SOP...hence it would be interesting to see how they handle it. The co-ordination between both countries in deciding who will be accepting the re-entries and the huge number of people who will be re-entry. Not just those on the trains....but those who have cleared the immigration and waiting at the platforms as well as they wouldn't be able to board the next train.

Online resources also mentioned it will be 2 tracked...meaning it would still be able possible for the service to continue using 1 train only, unless touchwood...the breakdown occurs on both trains on both tracks.

 

[sunsetbay]

With RTS up will they still stamp passport at immigration?

It will be one stop immigration, ICA & CIQ collate to have their immigration officers together~ either check at SG side when crossing to JB and vice versa at MY side when coming back to SG~

 

[sunsetbay]

JB phv?
Can come into SG?……..

Cross borders grab service~ probably not so easy, need both countries to agree on such proposal~
