    you really want to see some bad scooter driving, visit Penang. Singapore is pretty bad, but Malaysia is Champion's League terrible

    2 things would make the tunnels a thousand times better:

    1. Standardise toll fee (harbour)
    2. Octopus

    they will never have octopus for the tunnels - the Autotoll company is owned by the tunnel owners. if you had Octopus facilities for the tunnel, no one will use Autotoll and they lose their revenue

    Eh? They still get the revenue, and I suspect that Octopus's handling fee would be lower than the costs of having manned toll booths.

    Adminstrative fee for Autotoll is 35$ a month to use their TAG.

    Scooter riders are 1000x worse than motorcyclists. Just the riding position alone... sitting back with your crocs in the air or letting them glide an inch of the ground while you balance some power tools in the foot well whilst splitting lanes of traffic at ridiculous speeds.

    scrambler, Titus and dannycat like this.
