Johor Bahru Transportation

Many are not aware that there are bus service from Kuala Lumpur to Pasir Gudang. Take Transnasional from Puduraya. It'll stop by Johor Bahru and then proceed to Pasir Gudang. The departure times are 9:30am, 4:00pm, 11:00pm. Fare is RM25.30 incl. insurance. The entire journey takes about 5 1/2 hours. The buses are the 3-seats-in-a-row type. Very comfortable and pleasant.

There is also another bus company called Zuco that runs the same route but via Kulai. The fare is RM26 but I'm not sure about the schedule.

It is much cheaper and faster to go to J.B by bus…Some people just walk across the causeway to J.B especially when there are heavy traffic jam.

The bus from Singapore is a cheap, easy, and convenient way to get to Johor Bahru. I took the express bus from the Arab Street area (at Queen Street & Sultan Street). At the station, just wait near the sign for the Johor Bahru Express bus, then pay on the bus. One-way fare is only a few US dollars.

The ride north to the causeway takes only 45 minutes to one hour. When you arrive on the Singapore side of the causeway, you have to go through immigration & customs to exit the country (so bring your passport!). After immigration, you will go back outside and board the next available JB Express Bus. Just follow the signs to the bus area. Buses arrive and depart approx every 10-15 minutes from 6:30 AM to midnight.

The ride across the causeway takes just five minutes. When you arrive at JB, you must go through customs again. After customs, you may walk right into JB!

I don't think they have a website, but the phone number is 6292-8149 from within Singapore, 02-6292 8149 from Malaysia, 65-6292 8149 from anywhere else internationally!

The taxis here do not use their meters. So if you are foreign-looking, be sure to negotiate a price before taking it. Some are known to overcharge but mostly are quite reasonable. I've asked once whether any taxis in JB actually use the meter, the driver said, "If I feeling using, I'll use. But usually I won't". That's how things are here. Mostly will charge a few ringgit more expensive than the meter price. So it's not too bad. Guess they just want to earn a living.

If you are planning to visit Johor Bahru via airplane, you may do so as Johor Bahru has its own International Airport named Senai International Airport. It is situated in Senai town, 30 minutes drives from Johor Bahru. Not many choices of airlines as there are only some. Airliners that I can remember are Malaysian Airlines System, Air Asia and 2 Indonesian based airliners.

This airport is a very well maintain and organize. They had just recently upgrading their facilities especially upgrading their 1st floor with nice beautiful setup. The public toilet here being designed in a very creative ways and it is very clean.
