Singaporeans can expect smoother traffic flow at the Second Link when electronic toll payment is implemented at the Tanjung Kupang Toll Plaza.

 

From 10am, Sept 14 onwards, only electronic payments via Touch 'n Go cards (PLUSMiles or SmartTAGs) will be accepted. The toll plaza will not be accepting any cash payments.

does bike need to pay for toll charges as well?

 

only once for bikes.. 1.60rm

only once for bikes.. 1.60rm

Each way is RM1.60.

 

So, if you go into Malaysia and out again both via 2nd link, adding up you'll spend RM3.20

 

FYI: Going via Woodlands-Johor CIQ entry/exit is free of charge.

Well, Singapore charge us toll EVERYWHERE.

The toll at RM1.60 is very cheap for the distance we cover on our bikes.
