Default What to do in Singapore for a month?

If you intend to do multiple crossings, try and get a few extra forms on
your first trip and fill them in ahead of time.


If you decide to cross the causeway, try travelling after 9am in the morning
and also skip the 4 to 8pm in the evening. This is when shift workers travel
to and fro the causeway.

If you are taking the bus, make sure that you have a lot of change or get
one of those TransitLink card from any MRT station or bus interchange
in Singapore. It makes travelling in Singapore a lot easier and that applies
to bus 170 which travels up to Johor Bahru in Malaysia.

After you cross the Johor causeway, you might be greeted with lots of
touts trying to sell you their 'taxi' service, usually in their private cars
and their rates are usually higher than the normal licensed taxi. A typical
trip anywhere around Johor Bahru town is about RM 5. Taxi are usually
metered but they may not turn the meter on. Either have them use the meter
or agree on a price before the start of the journey.
