Singapore to Johor Bahru Transport Services: a customer and a provider in a bright, modern setting

Crossing the Causeway is one of the most common trips out of Singapore, and the options are very different: scheduled buses that stop at fixed points, coaches linking the airport with Johor Bahru, and private cars or taxis that collect you from an address and take you through the checkpoints. This list covers eight operators that describe a Singapore and Johor Bahru service on their own websites, spanning all three kinds. Read each write-up for the format it offers, then use the how-to-choose notes to match the service to your group, luggage and timing. Details here come from each operator's own pages, so confirm routes, stops and current arrangements with the operator before you travel.

1. SMRT Buses (Service 950)

SMRT Buses is the public-transport option on this list. Its cross-border services page describes Service 950 as running between the Woodlands Temporary Bus Interchange in Singapore and the JB Sentral terminal in Johor Bahru. The page explains two ways to board, either at the interchange, which it notes is next to Woodlands station, or at a stop opposite Marsiling station, and it gives the stop number for the second option. As a regular scheduled bus rather than a booked vehicle, it tends to suit travellers comfortable with a normal service. SMRT publishes the route details on its own website, so check that page and any current notices before you set out, since stops and arrangements can change.

2. Causeway Link

Causeway Link describes itself as a large public bus provider in Johor, and its site lists Singapore cross-border buses alongside its local Johor routes. The company says its cross-border buses run directly between Singapore and Malaysia via both the First Link and Second Link causeways, and that connecting buses link the Johor checkpoints with other pick-up points in Johor Bahru. Its announcements refer to Singapore route codes and interchange changes, so travellers should read the current notices before planning. The site also mentions a ManjaLink card, a LUGO trip-planning app and a hotline, and it offers bus charters and rentals as a separate service. Check its routes and schedules page for the stops that suit your journey.

3. Transtar Travel

Transtar Travel is a Singapore coach and travel company whose site lists regular cross-border bus services under the codes TS1, TS3, TS6 and TS8, each with its own schedule document. The TS1 schedule it publishes shows a daily service from Changi Airport terminals through several stops in the east and north of Singapore to Woodlands checkpoint and the Johor Bahru checkpoint, with a note to tell the bus captain if you wish to alight at the Larkin terminal. The same schedule says timings are approximate and may change with traffic. Transtar also lists coach charters, limousine transfers and attraction tickets, so it can suit travellers combining a crossing with other plans. Read the schedule for your route before you go.

4. CabLah

CabLah is a trading name of Singapore Cab Booking Pte. Ltd., which its site describes as a licensed passenger-service and coach charter operator. The site says it provides point-to-point rides and cross-border transfers between Singapore and Malaysia for companies, groups and individuals, running around the clock with door-to-door pick-ups. Its fleet, as listed, covers seven-seater MPVs, 13 and 23-seater minibuses and larger coaches, so it can cover anything from a couple travelling with luggage to a company outing. The site also includes a short entry-requirements summary and reminds visitors to verify details with official sources. Fares are shown on the page and vary by pick-up and drop-off point, so request a quote for your exact route.

5. SGMYTAXI

SGMYTAXI presents itself as an official cross-border private car service between Singapore and Malaysia, offering door-to-door pick-ups from a location you choose. Its site lists airport transfers, group and business trips, corporate charters and daily Johor trips, and its FAQ says passengers stay in the vehicle during border crossings. The vehicles it describes are a seven-seat Toyota Innova, an Alphard or Vellfire and a Hyundai Starex, with its own notes on how many passengers and bags each is intended to carry. Its FAQ also sets out payment, advance-booking and amendment terms, which are worth reading before you commit. The site shows a copyright range running to 2026, and a contact page with a booking route.

6. Chong Lee Transport

Chong Lee Transport is named on the Singapore to Johor Bahru transport site at sgtojb.com, which describes private car transfers that take guests to their address.

It also lists airport transfers to Changi, Senai and KLIA. The site says its drivers speak several languages, including English, Chinese, Malay and Hokkien, and that it avoids over-booking, which is the operator's own claim. The page links to a fleet section and a contact page, so ask which vehicle suits your party, your luggage and your drop-off point.

JBTAXI.SG describes itself as a provider of private taxi and car transfers from Singapore to Johor Bahru using seven to ten-seater MPVs. The fleet it lists includes the Toyota Innova, the Alphard or Vellfire and the Hyundai Starex. The site names a long list of destinations, including JB Sentral, City Square, Legoland, Senai, Forest City and Desaru, plus airport transfers for Senai and Changi. It says pick-up is door to door, that passengers clear immigration without leaving the vehicle, and that it offers flexible round-the-clock pick-ups, with payment by cash or online. Those are the operator's own statements. A contact page and a WhatsApp route are published, so confirm your pick-up time and drop-off point when you enquire.

8. NB99 Taxi Transport

NB99 Taxi Transport describes a cross-border private car service between Singapore and Malaysia, with door-to-door transfers and quotes on request. Its site lists a Toyota Innova, a Hyundai Starex and Alphard or Vellfire models, and it mentions that it can arrange tour plans if you want a day trip rather than a simple transfer. The destinations it lists include Johor Bahru, the Senai airport area and Legoland, and the site shows a copyright year of 2025. It gives a Johor Bahru business address and publishes a contact page, an email and a WhatsApp route. Because the page is a summary rather than a full booking system, ask for the vehicle, the passenger limit and the exact route to be confirmed in writing.

How to choose

Decide first whether you want a scheduled service or a booked vehicle. Public and coach buses run to published routes and stops, so you travel from the points they serve, while a private car or taxi collects you from an address. Pick the format that matches where your journey actually starts and ends, not just the price you expect.
Count people and bags before you enquire. Operators describe MPVs, vans, minibuses and coaches differently, and some state how many passengers and cases each vehicle is meant to carry. Ask the operator to confirm the vehicle size for your party in writing, especially if you are carrying large luggage, strollers or equipment.
Check which stops, checkpoints and drop-off points are served. Bus services name specific interchanges and terminals, and one operator's schedule even notes that routes can change with traffic. Compare these against your exact start and end points, and read the latest notices on the operator's own site before every trip.
Ask about the booking terms in advance. Some private services publish payment methods, advance-booking guidance and amendment cut-offs on their sites, while others expect a WhatsApp or phone enquiry. Confirm the pick-up time, the final fare, what extra stops or waiting time cost, and how changes are handled before you agree.
Plan the border crossing separately from the vehicle. Passport, entry and customs rules come from the authorities, not from transport operators, and the rules can change. Use the operator's information as a guide only, check official government sources before you travel, and allow extra time around peak weekends and public holidays.
