SINGAPORE — Bus travellers will be able to use QR codes to enter and exit Singapore's two land checkpoints during a trial starting end-November, said Singapore's Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) on Nov 21. Eligible travellers on the trial at the Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints will include Singapore residents — citizens, permanent residents and long-term pass holders — as well as foreigners who have previously visited the Republic. They will join others travelling from or to Johor by car, motorcycle or even bicycle, who can already opt to clear immigration at Singapore checkpoints with QR codes. Prior to the rollout of the initiative in March, ICA estimated cars with four travellers can save around 20 seconds when using QR codes, while clearance time for motorcycles and their pillion riders was has been reduced by around 30 per cent. The trial will begin from Nov 23 for those travelling through Tuas and the Second Link, and from Nov 28 for travellers using the Woodlands Checkpoint and the Causeway. Similar to those using private vehicles, bus travellers can generate a unique QR code on the MyICA app. Read more
