VEP Travel Tips for the Savvy Weekend Shopper in JB

Maximize your shopping time and minimize your travel stress. Here’s how to conquer the causeway for your next JB haul.

A weekend trip to Johor Bahru for shopping, groceries, and a car wash is a cherished Singaporean pastime. The deals are great, the food is delicious, but the journey there and back can be a real pain. The key to a successful shopping spree is a smooth, hassle-free journey.

Combine a valid VEP with these tips for the ultimate shopping experience:

  • Travel Off-Peak: Avoid the Friday evening exodus and the Saturday morning rush. Try traveling mid-day or late at night to breeze through the checkpoint.
  • Park Smart: Most JB malls have ample parking. Your VEP RFID, when linked to your Touch 'n Go eWallet, often works for parking payment, making your exit quick and cashless.
  • Go Cashless: Rely on your credit cards and eWallet for most purchases. It’s safer and more convenient than carrying large amounts of cash.

As a savvy shopper, you know the value of convenience. Think of our door-to-door VEP service as the ultimate life hack. While you’re busy making shopping lists and planning which cafes to visit, we’re handling the tedious VEP administration for you.

Before you head out, do a final check:

  • VEP Status: Active and ready in the system.
  • TNG eWallet: Linked and loaded with sufficient funds.
  • Traffic Apps: A quick glance to see which checkpoint is clearer.
  • Reusable Shopping Bags: Empty and ready for your haul!
