FROM SINGAPORE TO JOHOR BAHRU :
Johor Bahru is the first destination of Malaysia and border of Singapore!
From Kranji to Woodlands Checkpoints/Singapore Immigration :
Take a bus service 160 or 170 or CW 1 from Kranji MRT (Mass Rapid Transit Train) station, which is on the red MRT line called North south line. Always there is a big "Q" standing for these 3 bus services especially peak hours. Starting around 8.30pm would be an ideal time if you intend to reach Kualalumpur by early morning.
Once you finish Singapore immigration procedures at woodlands checkpoint, take the same bus service to resume your journey to avoid any additional ticket charges. For SBS Transit Buses (160 & 170), you can either use cash (No change given) or Ezlink card (Integrated transport rechargeable card-Usually, fares are lesser than paying by cash).
Note : SBS & SMRT buses are singapore based buses. Causeway Link (CW) is a Malaysian based bus. Besides these transports, there is a terminal at Singapore's queens street (Near Bugis MRT station) especially serve buses/taxis to Malaysia. Also buses to Johor bahru is widely available from different destinations/terminals of Singapore (Jurong East MRT/Interchange, Yishun, Newton, Woodlands etc.,) with less frequency of services when compare to Kranji MRT station.
From Woodlands Checkpoint to Malaysian Immigration :
The next destination is Malaysian Immigration Complex where you have to finish your immigration to enter Malaysia. Once you clear the immigration, now you have two choices to take buses to Larkin Bus Terminal (Which is the central Bus terminals for Johor Bahru city). Either you can take same bus service which would be available few meters after the Malaysian immigration clearance under the same roof of the immigration complex or can walk to the JB Sentral and can take a bus service to Larkin bus terminals. The buses outside JB Immigration/customs complex are marked with "LARKIN". The buses are available at JB Sentral ground floor or in front of JB City square shopping center which is walk-able distance from JB Sentral. JB Sentral is also the railway station for JB which serves to Kualalumpur line by KTM Intercity trains. The KTM ticket counter is available at the upper level of JB sentral complex.
