Need a tuk while crossings are still locked this late. How far past the barrier do people usually find one that will load. Not tuk after dark near Raja, not Grab surge mid-parade, and not Grab surge out after a full parade.

Usually one to three quiet blocks past the nearest open outer road — not at the tape itself. Walk as a group with a landmark pin, and expect to pay a bit more without inventing any official fare. Do not split adults across both sides of the lock.
