Travelers Face Unbearable Delays at the Johor Bahru Customs as Weekend Traffic Surges
A Sunday night trip from Johor Bahru to Singapore turned into a nightmare for many as travelers were forced to endure long waits of up to three hours. The line stretched from the second floor all the way down to the ground floor of the JB customs area, highlighting the extreme congestion at the border.
A Singaporean, who made a day trip to Johor Bahru, captured images of the overwhelming queues, which seemed to get worse as the night wore on. The high volume of weekend travelers returning to Singapore after spending time in Malaysia caused severe delays, with travelers showing signs of frustration.
Despite the delays, some seemed resigned to the fact that long waits have become a typical feature of weekend crossings. Those planning to travel between the two countries during peak times should be prepared for similar delays due to the heavy traffic and the thorough customs procedures in place.
