Singapore - Johor Bahru
by 170 bus:
The cheapest way to Johor Bahru would be
to take Bus No. 170 from either Queen
Street Bus Station or the bus-stop along
Rochor Canal Road (just after Sim Lim
Square). The bus fare is S$1.60. The
service runs from 5.20 a.m. to 12.10 a.m.
everyday.
The bus will stop at the Singapore checkpoint. The bus will not wait for you whilst you
clear immigration, so take all your belongings with you. Keep your bus ticket and hop on
the next Bus No. 170 which comes along. You don't have to pay again.
The bus will stop again at the Malaysian checkpoint, which is at the other end of the
Causeway linking Singapore and Malaysia. You will have to get off to clear immigration.
Once more, the bus will not stop for you to clear immigration, so keep your bus ticket if
you intend to catch the next bus.
After clearing immigration, you have the option
of either walking straight into Johor Bahru or to
hop on the next Bus No. 170. The bus will take
you to the bus-stop outside Komtar Shopping
Centre (along Jalan Tun Abdul Razak) first,
before stopping at Larkin Bus Terminal (at Jalan
Datin Halimah in the outskirts of Johor Bahru).

The Johor Causeway is a 1,056-meter
long and links the city of Johor Bahru in
Malaysia across the Straits of Johor to the
town of Woodlands in Singapore. It serves as a
road, rail, and pedestrian link, as well as piping
water into Singapore. The Causeway connects
to the Skudai Highway on the Malaysian side
and the Bukit Timah Expressway on the
Singaporean side. It carries 60,000 vehicles on
a typical day, with particularly bad traffic
congestion on the eve of public holidays.
