The Biometric Identification of Motorbikers (BIKES) System which

leverages on biometric and human detection technology to automate the

immigration clearance of single-rider motorcyclists at the 2 Land

Checkpoints (Woodlands & Tuas). The system provides an alternate choice

(over the manual motorcycle counters) for the registered rider to use

during immigration clearance and is a free facility provided by ICA.

1)go to blk E

2)take a number queue pasted jus outside e door.

3)after they called ur num, u go in to take photo n scan ur thumbprint for both hand.

4)u r done!!

IMO in future sure got jam coz lotsa people using. but it should be much faster than manual

[Me_No_Money]

much faster?hmmm dun think so.scanning of pp n thumbprint not very fast.

I just got my biometric passport done at ICA building. Don't know if its the same thing, but this new biometric passport is COMPULSORY for entry into the US.

 

I didn't have this yesterday morning when i was at the airport.. and that was bad.

What about those with the old passport? Can they travel to US?

[Me_No_Money]

can call ICA to enquire.

i think nid to change

I see that quite a number of Malaysian bikes are going thru this 'gantry' already. I saw this uncle also who was not registered but went in, in the end was advised to go one big round back from BKE to come back and queue again. Imagine, 30min queue!

 

Anyone knows what's this B.I.K.E.S thing about?

[anakin]

a thread regarding this has been started in the legal thread. check it out there

 

cheers

Biometric Identification of Motorbikes System (BIKES)

 

This system allows bikers to clear immigration without the need of an officer to scan your passport. If i'm not wrong, the passport will have a smart chip and in place of the toll officer to clear you, a computer captures your thumbprint and your passport instead.
