4 Mac 2026

Cross border travel between Johor and Singapore is an essential daily routine for thousands of commuters, students, and travellers. For many years, the Johor Singapore Causeway has experienced heavy congestion, especially during peak hours and public holidays. To improve connectivity and reduce traffic pressure, both governments have introduced a modern rail solution that aims to make border crossings faster and more efficient.

At present, cross border train services are operated by Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTM) through the Shuttle Tebrau service between Johor Bahru Sentral and Woodlands Train Checkpoint. Once the RTS Link begins operations, which is targeted for December 2026, it will become the main rail connection between Malaysia and Singapore, replacing the existing KTM shuttle service.

The Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTM) Shuttle Tebrau is currently the fastest train option between Johor Bahru and Singapore. Below is an updated step by step guide for Malaysian travellers.

Step 1: Book Your Ticket Online

Purchase your KTM Shuttle Tebrau ticket online through the official KTM website or mobile app.

Tickets from Johor Bahru Sentral to Woodlands Train Checkpoint cost RM 5 one way and $5 (From SG)

It is strongly recommended to book in advance because tickets sell out quickly, especially during weekends, public holidays, and peak commuting hours. Over the counter purchases are limited and often unavailable on busy days.

Step 2: Arrive at JB Sentral

Travel to JB Sentral by Grab, taxi, or local bus. If you are coming from other parts of Johor Bahru, you may take a bus from Larkin Sentral to JB Sentral.

Step 3: Proceed to Gate A

Inside JB Sentral, head to Gate A, which is the departure gate for the KTM Shuttle Tebrau service.

The boarding gate opens 30 minutes before departure and closes 10 minutes before the train leaves. Late passengers will not be allowed to board.

Step 4: Complete Malaysian Immigration Clearance

After passing the boarding gate, prepare your passport. Your passport acts as your boarding pass and will be scanned at the Automated Control Gate.

Proceed downstairs via the escalator for immigration clearance. You may use either:

  • Manual immigration counters
  • Automated e gates, if eligible

Step 5: Board the Train to Singapore

After clearing immigration, wait at the designated waiting area until boarding begins.

Once announced, proceed to the platform and board the train.

The train ride across the Causeway takes approximately five minutes.

Step 6: Clear Singapore Immigration

Upon arrival at Woodlands Train Checkpoint, disembark and follow the signs to the immigration hall.

Complete Singapore immigration clearance at either the manual counters or automated gates.

Step 7: Continue Your Journey in Singapore

After immigration clearance, proceed via the overhead bridge to access:

The Amari Hotel in Johor Bahru is located in a very strategic and convenient area. Most major facilities and shopping complexes are within a 10‑minute walking distance, making it easy to access food, retail, and entertainment without needing transportation. Cleanliness: Overall, the hotel maintains good cleanliness standards. However, some moss can still be found on the windows, especially those facing the swimming pool. Despite this minor issue, the general cleanliness of the hotel is satisfactory. Internet Connection: The Wi‑Fi connection is not stable. It frequently disconnects, which can be inconvenient for guests who rely on a steady internet connection. Parking: Parking is not free. Guests are charged RM12 per day with multiple entry allowed.

At least 8 out of 10 starts for this experience. Pros: Excellent location, right above the R&F mall. Kitchen is complete with adequate kitchenware. Comfortable stay for a 1-bedroom apartment. Felt very cosy (attached photo). Easy enough to check in and out following whatsapp directions for the mailbox. Customer service was responsive with my questions. Also the price for 1 night was excellent at only about $61 SGD, and this seems to be the cheapest among all 1 bedroom offerings on Trip.com for R&F Princess Cove. Cons: On a minor note, air-conditioner in the living room was a bit loud (some noise) but otherwise worked fine. I did not use the oven in the kitchen but there was a sign saying it was not to be used. The most unfortunate part of the stay was small bugs/cockroaches in the kitchen/toilet area, I otherwise would have given it a 10/10 for my stay there. I don't believe it is a hygiene issue though as the rooms were observed to be clean, not sure where the bugs are coming from but there is spray provided.

KTM will not operate the RTS Link once it begins service. The RTS Link is managed by a dedicated joint venture company formed by the governments of Malaysia and Singapore. When the RTS becomes fully operational, KTM will continue to focus on domestic rail services within Malaysia. The current Shuttle Tebrau trains are expected to be redeployed for local routes after cross border operations end.

This is a long-standing five-star hotel in Singapore. I stayed here for eight nights this time. It's my top choice for business and family trips to Singapore, offering great value for money. **Excellent Location** The location is superb. Right opposite the hotel exit is an MRT station. Although it's not a major line, it's convenient to get anywhere with a quick transfer. Within five or six minutes' walk, there's a large shopping center, The Great World, which has plenty of dining, shopping, and local specialty food options. The surrounding area is also a hub for tourist attractions, easily reachable by taxi or a few MRT stops. **Hotel Design** Given its five-star heritage and recent renovation, the rooms and hotel interior are very new and spacious. I was particularly impressed by the in-room coffee machine and water dispenser. Enjoying a rich cup of coffee while getting ready in the morning [smiley emoji] is a lovely touch. **Hotel Facilities** The swimming pool, gym, conference rooms, and restaurants are all well-equipped. **Service** I didn't get much chance to experience the service as I came back late and was out all day. My only minor complaint is the poor soundproofing. Perhaps it was because I was next to a door that seemed to lead nowhere, and the opening/closing sounds were loud. I could also hear cleaning staff making noise in the mornings. However, the front desk handled it very well, and they were much more careful afterward.

I was a bit disappointed with the hotel during this second visit in June 2026. There was a noisy construction site outside the window, and drilling went on for several hours in one of the neighboring rooms due to renovations. I really wanted to rest after my journey but couldn't, neither in the room nor on the terrace. They couldn't find another room for me, but they tried to smooth things over, which is a plus for the hotel. This time, there were no welcome fruits, no second evening housekeeping service, and no replenishment of amenities, tea bags, or candies. Breakfast was good. The view was excellent; I watched the tree show from my room. Overall, considering the room price, I had hoped for better. My first visit was more enjoyable. It's best to go to the pool right when it opens at 6 AM – there are minimal people then. However, it's heavily chlorinated; even after washing, the smell wouldn't come out of my swimsuit. It was convenient that my room was in the same tower, so I could go to the pool in my bathrobe and slippers. There's free bottled water at the pool and a restaurant for snacks.

Situated in the heart of the Civic District, it's only about 300 meters from City Hall MRT station, a mere 5-minute walk. This makes it incredibly convenient whether you're heading to the airport or exploring the city by subway. The hotel is surrounded by attractions; within a 10-minute walk, you can reach Clarke Quay, Fort Canning Park, the Old Hill Street Police Station (Rainbow Police Station), and St. Andrew's Cathedral, among other famous landmarks. Furthermore, the hotel is directly connected to Funan mall and has a 7-Eleven downstairs, offering an incredibly rich selection of dining and shopping options, perfectly suiting both business travelers and leisure tourists. **II. Facilities: Renovated Modernity and Leisure Amenities** Having opened in 1974 and completed a renovation in February 2025, this established luxury hotel has a new lease on life regarding its facilities. The hotel boasts 591 rooms, most of which are spacious. Some rooms feature panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, offering views of the city skyline at night, Marina Bay, or Fort Canning Hill. For leisure, the hotel has two outdoor pools, a 24-hour fitness center, and an exclusive executive lounge, 'The Study'. Additionally, the hotel's Jaspé restaurant serves exquisite French-Asian fusion cuisine, while Bentley's bar and the rooftop sky lounge are excellent spots to relax in the evening and enjoy the city skyline.

The hotel's location is excellent, with a subway station right outside the door and another line a few hundred meters away that goes to Chinatown. It's about an 800-meter walk to the Fort Canning tree tunnel (a popular photo spot), and from there you can continue on to the Old Hill Street Police Station (also known as the Rainbow Police Station), Clarke Quay, and the Merlion. The room size is a definite advantage compared to other hotels in the same price range; there's plenty of space to walk even with two large suitcases. The bathroom size is standard as well. The downside is that the bathroom fixtures are quite old, and the shower is difficult to use. However, I was aware of this beforehand, so I was prepared, and given the other advantages, it's acceptable. The bedding is good, and the sofa is quite comfortable. Among the toiletries, only the shampoo, shower gel, and toothbrush weren't great; everything else was fine. The room has a kettle and comes with tea and coffee packets. There's also a water dispenser in the hallway where you can get iced or room temperature water. The hotel breakfast is decent, on par with business hotels in China. However, the service is excellent; they diligently restock drinks and food even at the last minute, even if there are only a few people dining. There are washing machines and dryers on the fourth floor, each costing 5 SGD, and you can get change for coins at the front desk. The commercial machines work very well; the dryer gets clothes completely dry in 40 minutes. There are also ironing facilities in the room. Overall, I recommend this hotel. If you have a higher budget, you might look elsewhere, but if you're looking for great value for money at this price point, you should definitely consider it.

Pros: Very close to VivoCity, just across the road (though you'll need to cross a few traffic lights). Other than that, there's not much else to write home about. The biggest problem is the excessive noise! The sound of vehicles (likely motorcycles) on the road at night is incredibly 'refreshing' – I've never had trouble sleeping before, but I was woken up multiple times. If you're a light sleeper, definitely avoid this place. The bed is also very high, so it's not suitable for seniors with mobility issues. The design of the bathroom and shower doors is quite odd, and the soundproofing in the room is terrible. Flushing the toilet in the middle of the night creates a very loud noise, which is disruptive to anyone else in the room.
