To manage the passenger drop-off flow, the Lay Bay facility was made to minimize passenger congestion that causes traffic jams.
It is provided as a temporary stopping place for vehicles that will drop off passengers. However, under certain conditions during busy times in the morning and evening, it has the potential to experience overcapacity due to excessive vehicle volume or long stops that trigger long queues.
