🇲🇾🚆🇸🇬 BEST WAY to travel from Singapore to Johor Bahru ↔️ Malaysia - Train via KTM Shuttle Tebrau

[@ireumiobseum]

My friends and I did this border crossing for the first time last week. Thanks for this video! It was great help

[@CKology]

Glad it was helpful! 🤍

[@bluelingen]

Thanks for the video. The step-by-step guide is really helpful for first-time travellers from SG to JB. :)

[@CKology]

You're very welcome! 🥁 Glad you found this video useful

[@sgmei]

Thanks for the video and info! So excited to go shopping at JB again, recently the bus/car jams situations are scaring us off, lol.

[@CKology]

I never go by anything else but the 🚋, travel safe.

[@paulyin8934]

Your video is the first post I’m watching how to go to JB by train. The search ends here. No need to see others la. So detailed and nothing more to say Thank CK

[@CKology]

You are welcome and thank you for watching

Planning to do this but I am a foreign national. I hope my process with the immigration will also be smooth

[@CKology]

dont worry it will be smooth

[@kristinedelrosario9557]

Hi CK, thanks for sharing! Is it luggage friendly here? I usually travel with a luggage with me. I hate crossing the border via bus. I remember when I crossed the border during SG50 and it took 8 hours to cross the border lol. That was dumb of me back then. I didn't know how to plan my itinerary huhu. Anyway, thanks again!

[@CKology]

Yes luggage friendly, dun worry

[@laughoutlau5580]

Thank you CK - this is really very helpful with the ticket link provided. Would really good if you could do a series of how to travel in Malaysia using either bus or train routes?😍😍🤩

​@@CKology what are the buses options from Woodlands CIQ Train stn? Is there buses going to central/downtown? Or going to Woodlands mrt stn and continue to the center better option?

[@DonsShed]

We caught the KTM Train last time.... this time I have ordered bus seats from Expo MRT Station.... supposedly it takes 1hr 18mins from there, to JB Sentral..... lets cross our fingers for that!!!! LOL

[@CKology]

@@DonsShed I’ll cross ❌ my finger for u

[@darrylk808]

I could have used this 2 days ago... Went to JB Sentral to check on tickets and a Sunday trip was sold out. Too many Singaporeans going north. So make your reservations WAY in advance, especially if you are going on a weekend. Not sure why they do limited seating? Everyone gets a seat? Why not just a subway train where you can stand, going back/forth every 15 mins? Pack the train! It's a 5 min trip. We had a flight to catch from SIN-SFO on Monday. We finally just paid for a private car last minute at $70 USD. It was door-to-door so that was nice. Driver recommended we leave before 8:30am if we didn't want to spend 3 hours in a Sunday queue at the border. Our trip, dtd, was just over 1 hour, which was great! We had to be in SIN for our flight.😢 Now I know to book train tickets far in advance. The bus is good if you don't mind queuing in SIN and have little or no luggage.

[@CKology]

The ticket 🎫 opens for sale three weeks b4 the date

[@mariablandina8564]

Thanks CK. I’m a new subs. Ben watching your video’s. They are great. For this one, appreciated the details you presented clearly: the website, the info of online booking vs at the counter, refund policy and where the MRT are to take. As foreigners we dont know where and which MRT to take from in S’pore. Much appreciated. Greetings.

going JB few days later and checking out the means :)

[@CKology]

That's great

[@Syulang-nt4kj]

I think closing the line into Tj. Pagar was really short sighted and a victim of toxic politics rather than pragmatism. The line should have been retained and upgraded as part of KTM east coast line upgrade so there could have been regular ETS train service right into Singapore CBD, with Singapore and JB sharing high frequency KTM Komuter service like in KL (eventually KTM could even have introduce electric commuter services on the Tj Pelepas freight line, and had a spur coming off down to Tuas 2nd link and meeting up with the MRT at Tuas Link). It really is absurd that getting between SG and JB is still a slow, disjointed process with unintegrated CIQ arrangements. The journey should be completely seamless

[@CKology]

I hope the new LRT watever they call it complete soon.

[@jameskirk2579]

Really helpfull thanks
