I just went in last week via Tuas link. You can actually alight at the Malaysian customs, or ask your accompanying friend to alight to buy the Touch-n-go card. There is a kiosk located on the right most side of the JB customs checkpoint. Walk over to buy the card, top-up the value in the card (I topped up RM100), then return to the car to "tap and pay" at the customs counter.

Along the expressway, you can go to the leftmost lane or lane with the sign "Tambah Nilai" to top up the value.

I did the same thing few weeks ago and now we know why the queue is always so long. What a system!

Went to the Chinese restaurant at Mutiara Hotel. Quite nice, especially their signature fish and mantou.

The situation to JB from SG seems unpredictable.
Went in on Monday morning, SG custom, use automated system. all queue full till the railing ends. Clearing was not an issue. Bus to JB, surprising.. not many people.

This afternoon, I came back, at MY custom clearing going into JB, queue was, all queue half the hall. Not as bad.

Previous week Monday I went in the afternoon about 1.3pm. Bus queue at SG side, wow... before going down the stair way, saw people queuing all the way. Colleague was waiting for buses at SG side, waited 30min no bus.
However, went I reached even though long queue, many buses came to picked up passengers.

I took CW buses, shortest queue pay RM3. Got down the bus and go up to MY custom.. WOW>>>> hall was full. After escalator, I could only walk horizontally towards counter 15-17. However, the clearing was just about 35 min.

If you don't want surprises, buy KTM train.
