How to get from Johor Bahru to Changi airport?

We plan to travel to Malaysia later this year. As flights from Europe
to Malaysia are more expensive than flights to Singapore, we will book
an open jaw flight from Europe to KUL and back from SIN to Europe.

On the last day of our journey we will drop the rental car at Johor
Bahru and head for Changi airport to get our return flight.

What is the best method to get from Johor Bahru to Changi? Can we
just hail a cab in downtown Johor Bahru that takes us to Changi, and
if so, how much will it cost approximately?

Hi,

I can recommend taking the bus. Just take a normal bus from JB to Sing.

Regards Eric

There is no direct public transport from JB to Singapore Chnagi Airport.

You may wish to take a JB- Singapore cab (Yellow Color) or take a bus across
the causeway. PLs don't cab thats are private car. That will be your own
risk.

After crossing the causeway you can hail a Singapore cab to Changi Airport.

Pls bear in mind the causeway always jam. You can get stuck there up to 2
hours.

Happy Holiday.

That would be fine if you have a big budget.
For a budget traveller, take the 170 bus or Causeway(yellow) from the
Larkin main bus terminal as they are planning to stop people boarding
at the Checkpoint.

The Causeway is not always jammed - it depends on the time you travel
and whether it's the eve of a long week-end. But do allow sufficient
time for travel.

By taxis, it would take about 1 to 2 hours to reach Changi.
By 170 bus to Kranji and then MRT, allow 2 to 3 hours.

Feel free to email me if u need more info. I live in JB and travel
often into Spore.

There is a Singapore bus service from Jalan Larkin JB to Singapore where you
alight at some MRT station and continue to Changi airport - the service is
no. 170 if I am not mistaken and besides Jn Larkin there is another stop to
pickup and alight.
Or you take JB taxi and go straight to Changi aport.

take the taxi from Johor Baru to Woodlands Singapore and take the MRT train
to Changi airport. Total cost about S$10

No you can't. Local JB cabs are not allowed into S'pore (vice versa)
unless licensed to cross the checkpoint.

A cheap and good way:
Hire the cross border licensed cab (a reputable hotel concierge or
probably your car rental clerk can advise you the whereto). They'll
drive you all the way to Queens Street in S'pore and from there you
can either hail a taxi to Changi airport or you can hop on the mass
transit rail at Bugis stationm which is a short walk from Queens St.

A cheaper way:
Get to the JB-S'pore express bus terminal and the bus will also bring
you to Queens St same place as the cab would. Board the mass transit
rail (MRT) at Bugis Station to Chang Airport.

For the cheap cheap and adventurous....walk across the causeway (3km
hot sun, no shade). Have your passport stamped and board a mass
transit rail at Woodlands Station which is a little distance (abt
1.5km hot sun, some shade, some slope) from the immigration
checkpoint. That will bring you to Changi Airport.

Sorry can't help you on the $$$ here for the cabs and bus. The transit
rail (MRT) will cost you abt S$1.70. You need an additional S$1 for
refundable deposit for the ez-link card.

what a beautiful name

Bus (sorry, cant give u anymore details than this...) to S'pore
