Nobody expected it, but it happened. At 5.40am. As we cruised up the flyover we saw, a head of us, 5 to 6 lanes of headlights for as fars as the eye could see. 2.5km actually. Then the wait began. Crawling towards the Tuas checkpoint. Soon, mothers with children in hand can be seen making quick dash across the Expressway. More started walking around as we approached the Raffles country club. Some walked back with sandwiches and coffee. Finally at 9.45am, Our trip began.

Weekend Exodus

wow! Are all the cars waiting to come into Malaysia?
The annual exodus!!
TZ:
Gotta feeling, the car population in spore over the weekend was 2/3 less!
SAHM:
Many non malaysians were also taking a the long weekend trip out of Spore
stuck at Tuas for 4 hrs??!!
never thought that would happen in squeaky-clean super-efficient Singapore. i suppose no one expected a crowd at that hour.
Next time the exodus gotta start much earlier at unearthly hours like 3 or 4AM!
Doc:
Precisely. Because it's super efficient, every car & passenger were carefully screened.
LM:
Great minds think alike.
Hello
Wow, I guess, it’s not usual.
in case of us, General winter brings a terrible traffic jam in this season on highway sometimes.
So, the color of the highway is changed to white in a moment.
You know, it’s beautiful, but it’s frightening.
See you! (＾＾)/
my fren started at 330 am from hougang and reached ipoh 10 hours later. no jam at causeway but no so lucky at the NS expressway. Three accidents caused a massive traffic jam.
we are lucky this year as in-laws were visiting and we didnt have to travel.
SeeFei:
3.30am!! we tried that once. It's was sooo....dark along the NS highway that I felt unsafe. At 110Km/h by the time you spot anything it's too late to brake.
