Taxis to JB

You can take a Singapore cab from the Queen Street Singapore Taxi Terminal to the Johor Bahru Taxi Terminal at Kotaraya II Terminal. (S$10/person). It won’t make crossing customs faster, but at least you don’t have to leave the cab or move your luggage out of it during your journey.

On Foot

Crossing the Causeway on foot is not allowed but still frequently done. It’s a 2-kilometre walk with pedestrian walkways that are often bumpy or non-existent. Walking is a good choice if you have no heavy bags, but for most travellers, Johor Bahru travel is more comfortably done on wheels.

Places to visit in JB

Visit JB’s largest mall, AEON Tebrau City (Mon-Sun 9.30am - 11.00pm, 07-3511110) and the closest mall to Singapore, City Square (open daily, 607-2219989).
