Hi all.. new here.. need help.. I will be going over to Johor to take a train at Johor Bahru railway station. Since CIQ has been relocated, is there any way to walk from the new CIQ to the Johor Bahru railway station? Thanks.

jam, jam, jam

only 2 lane for m'bike, cars and buses to squeeze together to get to JB CIQ

looks like SBS gotta reschedule Sv 160, 170 & 170B alrdy

Malaysia boleh!

Causeway to and fro Singapore also 2 lane (max 3 lane) and already cannot tahan traffic already. SG side at least got dedicated lanes for cars, trucks and buses.

today made a short trip to Kranji bef heading to Woodlands Ctr

Seems tat 170B has enough buses cos those MIG are trying to make e bus packed before departing Kranji. Meanwhile CW1 still has e '1 bus arrive, 1 bus depart' going on, bus departed or e one arriving Kranji w/ not many passengers

it's 160 & 170R tat's still giving erratic freq.

Maybe you want to reboard 160 or 170 (any plate) to play safe for the first time. Alight at the new bus stop outside JB Sentral. It's before the motorcycle parking lot. Then walk to JB station.

Take from Tanjong Pagar more expensive. If he's taking second class, its SGD 34. If he take from JB, its RM 33. More than half price.

of course wat

how can 1 average M'sian afford things if it's in S$?

KTM also wants to earn more foreign $$ wat

iveco SG

it depends what buses SBS will use in e future since these buses will have to meet some requirements from e M'sian side. I would still prefer e Striders though, since they alr have emergency doors in e 1st place.

The Triton Lances have no emergency exits too. Instead, they have hammers to smash the windows.

The cross border SMRT Mercs used to have an emergency door, and after refurbishment it also have windows designated as "Emergency Exit" with hammers in place without an emergency door. Should be as long as there's a clearly designated emergency exit , it'll be ok.

In a real emergency, apart from the entrance/exit which may not work, who would try to figure out how to open the emergency door? Think they'll grab the hammer and break the window to jump out le.

I knw that in the past when u board any of the buses in Malaysia, u pay the same price but in RM. Same for SBST / SJE / CW. Not sure about that now or if SMRTB have that practise though.

CW one notch abv, board in JB is 10 sen abv.. so S$1.30, there is RM1.40

big deal xD 10 sen above, divide by 2.41 still?

Pls lah, don't waste ur time and money taking KTM from Tanjong Pagar to Johor...take from Johor on. Tanjong Pagar to Johor, even taking our public transport faster than the train

Actually...taking the KTM isn't worth it at all...unless its for the experience. Even the bus on the NS Highway faster

Only coming back is worth it. RM 2.90 to clear technically only 1 immigration. Singapore side. Provided the train is there already lah, otherwise waiting a bit long. Going up not worth.

Back to topic, after clearing immigration, will there be a link to JB City Square like there is in Woodlands Train Checkpoint to Woodlands Center? Or will it be secluded like Tuas Checkpoint, only 1 way to bus bay only?

no wonder KTM die die also dun want to give up their business in Singapore.
btw, the new CIQ bus boarding area is in a mess. A few of my female colleagues were stepped on their feet/toes this morning while trying to board the buses. No queue at all. Really dunno who is the person who is in charge of designing this new CIQ. maybe DR M?

sbst275 SG

KTM's been making losses

dun earn S$ I think dead long ago
