Singapore to Johor Bahru

Singapore to Johor Bahru bus services

One of the easiest ways to get to Woodlands Checkpoint, on the Singapore side of Johor-Singapore causeway, or to Johor Bahru itself, is to take a public bus.

You can take SBS bus No. 170  from either Queen Street Terminus or Rochor Road (City center) or you can travel by MRT to Kranji Station (station NS 7 - The bus stop is opposite the station and the racecourse) and take the bus from there.

 

The first bus leaves Queen Street at 05:20 am and the last one departs slightly after midnight.

 

The bright yellow buses of Causeway Link run along the same route, and they might even prove to be more convenient than those of SBS :  CW1 connects  MRT-Kranji with Johor Bahru, while CW2 departs from Queen Street Terminus and travels all the way to Larkin Bus Terminal in Johor Bahru.

Causeway Link's third route, CW3, travels via the Malaysia-Singapore Second Link and is of little interest to tourists.

 

The Singapore-Johor Express (SJE) also departs from Queen street Terminus and travels all the way to Larkin Bus Terminal in Johor Bahru.

 

The bus first stops at the checkpoint on the Singaporean side of the border.   After you are through with the immigration, you can just hop on the next bus that comes along and cross the causeway to the checkpoint on the Malaysian side of the border (don't throw your ticket).  After clearing the Malaysian checkpoint, you can catch the bus again (your ticket is still valid) to the Johor Bus Terminus, or you can walk to town.

 

Those of you who wish to travel directly from Singapore's Changi Airport to Johor Bahru, can use the TS-1 route of Transtar Travel, which takes passengers all the way to Kotaraya Bus Terminal, in the centre of Johor Bahru.
