SINGAPORE - The use of automated lanes at the Woodlands Checkpoint has allowed 1,000 more bus travellers per hour to clear immigration during the evening departure peak period.

The Woodlands Checkpoint bus hall currently has seven manual lanes and 68 automated clearance lanes, of which 28 are bi-directional, meaning they can be adjusted to accommodate for crowds departing or arriving in Singapore. Causeway Link buses ferry passengers between the Sultan Iskandar Customs, Immigration and Quarantine Complex in Johor and the Woodlands Checkpoint.

At the automated lanes, their biometrics - such as iris and fingerprint images - will be automatically enrolled during the clearance process.
