Exploring Johor Bahru (JB) in a day
A favourite pastime of Singaporeans who love going to JB for shopping, eating, getting a hair-cut or massage, I hopped into a Transtar cross-border bus that originated from Changi Airport to JB CIQ (Customs, Immigration and Quarantine). The bus fare is SGD9. However return fare is RM13. Tried using my ezlink card but the machine was down, so paid using cash instead. I had standby the exact amount as no change will be given. The ride was comfortable and smooth. As it was during a weekday getting a seat is not a problem. Transtar bus is especially great for those living or working in the east. For those living in the west probably Causeway Link buses are the way to go. Transtar cross-border bus The options to go to JB are wide including the regular SBS Transit bus 170 that ply the central areas of Singapore. You can also take the KTM Shuttle Tebrau railway from Woodlands Train Station to JB Sentral and the ride is only 5 minutes, though customs and immigration may add 30 minutes each way...
