is it open to public yet?

F1Racing · Post by **F1Racing** » Mon Dec 01, 2008 11:23 am

touch and go mean u must go to a petrol station in msia to purchase a card...
then u can use the causeway by scanning the card

which is better for smoother traffic flow in a way

but i really like to see them reverting to the old system...immigration cards waste ink waste paper.....

but i think its for security reasons?

Anyone please advice further:

1.So first timer without touch-n-go card how to get in?

2. What about top up?
a. Need to have a malaysia ATM card means a bank account too?
b. Got top-up machines which are easy to access and use?
c. Can get at their imigration point?

I can only think come 16 Dec, it's going to be a big confusion and traffic jam there.

1. touch-n-go are available at selected petrol stations or just got the kempas tol plaza and go to the office during office hours.

2 a. dont need malaysian atm card. dont even need a malaysian bank account and it has nothing to do with banks.

b. to topup - tol plazas , bhp petrol station, some seleted stations

its about the new malaysian checkpoint being opening on 16 dec 2008

no more using cash to pay for toll (rm $2.90), u hav to pay by touch n go card, these cards can be bought at jb customs now selling at $20rm and can be topup most of the petrol kisok around jb town. one of such is the caltex at jb town ( the one b4 u reach jb checkpoint)

Thanks for the headup, but I am concern for first time drive in without the card, not walk in.
Even if can buy the card at RM20, does it comes with a few dollar stored value too or can top up at the same time?

Which means from now till 16 Dec, better go in and buy the card, right? Purposely drive in to do this........................................mmmmmmmmm.
Just a simple noob questions. Thanks.
