TAR16 - EP 8: You're Like Jason Bourne, Right? (Malaysia)
Hooky:
The real question is this: When they are having taxi problems, is it in the vicinity of the Roadblock location? Because if it is, the flags could actually be part of the Detour. Or it could be the Roadblock but when they finish it they get the Detour clue. What do you all think?
wonderfalls1:
I'll go out on a limb here. I am guessing that Penang is not a pit-stop at all. Teams there continues racing onwards to Singapore and one team is eliminated there.
It's not the first time TAR has pulled this off....
Also, I read somewhere that the teams took the train from Penang to Singapore. Can anyone confirm this?
Evan_Weinstein:
Penang will be a pitstop, and seeing that there is only 1 non elimination leg left in the race, so the next 2 eliminations will be in Penang and Singapore, following by 1 of the 2 eliminations in China
and i once queried the RFFians here, there is no supportive suggestions that the teams travel by train or by plane to Singapore, so we just have to wait and watch that episode. But my best guess will be by plane.

I have no idea whether AR16 went from Penang to Singapore by train. However, I have the schedules if they did:: 13:45

Bukit Mertajam (11 miles form Butterworth) 20:39** - - - - - -
Butterworth (for Penang ferry) depart: - - 23:30 - 07:45 10:00 -
Ipoh arrive/depart - - 01:19 03:39 - 10:49 14:24 -
Kuala Lumpur (Old historic station) arrive: 04:46 06:35 - 13:55 17:26 -

Kuala Lumpur (KL Sentral) depart: - 04:50 08:25 14:00 - 22:30
Tampin (for Malacca) arrive/depart - xx:xx 10:03 16:14 - 23:39
Gemas arrive/depart - - 08:10 10:56 17:07 - 00:52
Johor Bahru arrive: - - - 13:48 20:11 - 05:39
Singapore arrive: - - - 15:00 21:30 - 08:20
Looking only at those columns finishing in Singapore, train leave Butterworth (across the Straits of Malacca from Penang) at 0825, 1400 and 2230 to reach Singapore 6.5, 7.7 and 8 hours, respectively, later. That is less than many arduous train rides done by the Amazing Race in past seasons. They could easily have elected for lower costs to take the train.
