my paper
Tuas Checkpoint is for vehicles only
>I refer to the letter "Why are travellers on foot not allowed through Tuas exit?" (my paper, June 12).

The Tuas Checkpoint is designed as a vehicular checkpoint. By this, we mean that all travellers passing through the checkpoint have to continue the journey in their vehicles after immigration and customs clearance.

Therefore, travellers must enter Tuas Checkpoint in a vehicle and leave the checkpoint in the same vehicle that they have entered Singapore.

If they wish to board a public bus after leaving the checkpoint, they may alight at any designated bus stops along thecity-bound carriageway of Jalan Ahmad Ibrahim. There are signages displayed prominently at the arrival bus passenger boarding concourse to inform the travellers of this.

Travellers who need to use the Tuas Checkpoint to travel into and/or out of Singapore may also take the public bus service CW3, which plys between Jurong East Bus Interchange and Larkin in Johor Baru via Tuas Checkpoint.
