JB Eastern Dispersal Link: For People or Daylight Robbery


Johor Bahru Eastern Dispersal Link (EDL) is a new 8.1 km dual 3-lanes expressway which provides alternate route from Pandan (end of North South Expressway-NSE) to Sultan Iskandar Customs, Immigration and Quarantine Complex (CIQ), scheduled for revenue service in Feb 2012.

It has been reported that anyone who comes in or out of CIQ will be charged with a proposed one-way toll of RM9.10 RM6.20 in addition to current toll of RM2.90/S$1.20 charged for Causeway link, regardless one uses the EDL or not. Anyone and local who use EDL but exit before CIQ, will be exempted from toll charge. This is an extraordinary out-of-box thinking invented by Malaysia, only in Malaysia. Non-user has to pay for EDL user!

For justice and fairness, please support petition against this illogical toll charge via No extra TOLLS at Johor Baru CIQ for Motorists who do not use EDL highway

UPDATE 01 APR 2012:
EDL opens, no toll for now
Najib announced recently that those who do not use the EDL need not pay toll
