Causeway toll may increase by FIVE times

Motorists using the Johor Causeway between Malaysia and Singapore may be forced to pay five times more in toll charges once it is implemented along the Eastern Dispersal Link (EDL).

They will be forced to pay the toll even if they do not use the 8.1km EDL as the collection will be done inside the Customs, Quarantine and Immigration Complex (CIQ).

Presently, motorists using the Johor Causeway are only required to pay RM2.90 (S$1.19) for cars during their return trip at the CIQ building.

It is expected to be opened in the coming weeks.

This means in the coming weeks, the toll will be RM7.65 one way, which works out to RM15.30 total to leave and return to Malaysia.

This affects ANYONE who DRIVES through the Customs, Quarantine and Immigration Complex (CIQ).

The toll, to be cashless with the use of Touch'N Go, will affect about 70,000 to 100,000 local and Singaporean commuters each day. There is no toll for motorcyclists.
