JOHOR BARU: Singapore’s move to match Malaysia’s reduction of toll charges for cars, taxis and buses at the Causeway and Second Link has been welcomed by frequent travellers. Assistant chemist Farosdie Saufi, 23, who takes the bus to Singapore every day, said he hoped the price of bus tickets would be reduced following the reduction of toll charges. “We are thankful the Singapore government is matching the Malaysian government’s move to reduce toll charges, ” he said when met at the Johor Baru-Singapore taxi terminal in Larkin yesterday. It said the reduction was in response to Malaysia’s reduction of similar toll charges at the Sultan Iskandar Building Toll Plaza at the Causeway and the Tanjung Kupang toll plaza at the Second Link since Feb 1. At Woodlands, toll charges for cars, taxis and buses will be reduced by S$0.20 (60 sen), S$0.10 (30 sen) and S$0.60 (RM1.80) respectively.
