If you go in the morning, traffic around Woodlands is very very heavy, and I really don't understand why SBS always use the oldest buses on 160,170, never use double decker on such busy services..

We went to JB at around 12:00.
However, as it was Easter holiday, the traffic at the checkpoint was so heavy.
The bus stop at Woodlands Checkpoint was full of people.
All buses/coaches at the checkpoint carried 100% full load of passengers to JB, and we ought to queue for the bus to JB checkpoint for more than 1 hour.
But after completing the immigration at JB, there were very few passengers continuing their journey by 160/170.
And we finally took onto a 170 bus which carried less than 10 passengers to Larkin.
However, although 160/170 are so crowded, it seems hardly possible for double deckers to enter the Immigration Tower at JB due to height constraint. Am I right?
Majority of people will catch a taxi to their destination at the check point, pick up by their Malaysian friends or simply stay at the city centre. That is one of the reason why there is so few passenger to Lakin.
During my stay in Singapore, I had been to JB for many times to shop and have good and cheap meals there. However, I have been to Lakin for only two times because I needed to catch a bus there to Kuala Lumpur. I don't find any reason why I need to go to Lakin unless I need to catch a long distance bus to other parts of Malaysia.

And also the road condition on the way to the Malaysia new check point ! It is like a racing track with so many truns! I don't think it is safe for a double decker to run on that so poorly designed road!

I guess they don't want the Singaporean bus has a big contrast comparing with those ones in Malaysia. Don't forget the maintenance of the Singaporean bus is far much better than those one in Malaysia. Those Malaysian bus maybe about 5 yrs old or even less but is already looks as old as those B10M!
