Johor Bahru-- near to Singapore

Thanks, that's good to know.

So I understand it's a good bit cheaper to fly there than directly to
Singapore?

Is it easy to get to Singapore from Johor Bahru?

Yup, just cross the bridge.

Do you mean Johor or Singapore? You have this a bit pervert practice to
"command" what others want.

Please shut up. ;-)

Yes, it's easy to go between Johor bahru and Singapore, either by train or
bus. Doesn't take long either.

Just don't forget to have the passport ready, and if you're a
foreigner (non Malaysian and non Singaporean) use the foreigner
counter, it's much easier and faster that way.

Just don't try to cross the bridge at heavy traffic times. During
heavy traffic times, it doesn't matter whether you're a foreigner or
not.

With the intercity train, KTM only provide a few Johor Bahru -
Singapore trips daily. No traffic jams with the train though.


It's much easier to use the BUS and MRT combination.

Take the MRT to the Kranji MRT station, then from Kranji MRT station,
you catch bus number 170 that headed for Larkin bus terminal at Johor
Bahru.

From the Kranji MRT station to the Singapore border, it will make a
few stops. From the Malaysia border to Larkin bus terminal, it will
only stop at the KOMTAR shopping mall (near the train station).

Other than the bus number 170, you could always take the faster more
express causeway link bus.

The same process can be applied if travelling from Johor Bahru, in
reverse order of course.

I think that AirAsia has a much more detailed explanation on Johor
Bahru - Singapore.
