don't make this mistake on your jb day trip 😵

disclaimer: we have never went to JB by bus/train before (hence the amateur mistakes 😭😭) but posting this so others don't fumble like we did oops

1) we went to the wrong checkpoint

We set our grab location as "JB sentral" and ended up going to the bus checkpoint and not the train one and we had already passed customs so we had to forgo our train tickets and take the bus back (and tbh i still don't know wheres the train checkpoint)

lesson learnt - set the right location and only pass customs once you're sure its the correct place

2) autogate issues

I came into jb through manual customs and went out through the autogate and it took a lot of effort to get the officer to help stamp my passport out

lesson learnt - come in through manual must go out by manual and don't anyhow use autogate, i think the autogate instructions are available online

Their autogate is very fast now. I went in less than 20mins I’m out to JB

Hello, I think now don’t need register for autogate already! Used to be Monday-Thursdays can register but I went last weekend and saw the sign that registration is no longer required or smth! Also don’t need fill up the MDAC form already.

Coincidentally its the time Buns can act
