Everything you need to know about Causeway Link buses.

Gambar Profil Penulis

Causeway Link is one of the largest public bus operators in Johor, offering both local bus services within Johor and cross-border routes between Johor Bahru and Singapore. It is a popular choice for daily commuters, students, tourists, and shoppers, with services operating via the Johor–Singapore Causeway (Woodlands Checkpoint) and the Malaysia–Singapore Second Link (Tuas Checkpoint).

Types of Causeway Link Services

Causeway Link operates two main types of bus services: cross-border buses and local buses. Cross-border services connect Johor Bahru with major destinations in Singapore, while local buses provide convenient transport within Johor Bahru and surrounding areas. As operating hours and bus frequencies vary by route, passengers should check the latest schedules on the official Causeway Link website before travelling.

There is a lot of foot massage around the mall. More food malls can be chosen. On the first day we had our breakfast in the hotel restaurant. Food was nice. Only it is quite crampy as I have my mom in the wheelchair.

Amari Hotel Stay Had a pleasant stay at Amari Hotel. The rooms were spacious, the bed was really comfortable, and the breakfast spread was excellent — lots of variety and everything we tried was delicious. The hotel is within walking distance to JBCC Mall, which is very convenient. Just a heads-up that City Square is currently closed for renovation, so that may affect your plans. One downside is the traffic around the hotel lobby area, which can get quite congested due to the ongoing construction. At night, some roads leading back to the hotel are also closed, so you may need to take a different route. Overall, a comfortable stay with great rooms and a very good breakfast. Would definitely consider staying here again once the surrounding construction and road closures are sorted out.

Nice place! Cleanliness is top notch. No bugs too. Staff are polite. Bed is comfortable and toilet is huge. Pool has limited seats but quite serene to relax. A lot of ppl from breakfast area came to check out the pool. Might be noisier during weekend. What we don’t like is the aircon blows directly onto head during sleep. Not good for kids. The construction quite loud at night too, even at 11pm we can hear from 33rd floor. Would overall definitely recommend if you want somewhere near checkpoints!

We really enjoyed our stay at Fraser Place Iskandar Puteri. The 3-bedroom serviced apartment was spacious, comfortable, and perfect for our family of 5. We especially loved the location. Marina Walk is just nearby, with Hard Rock Cafe and other dining and leisure options within walking distance. We enjoyed taking leisurely walks around the area, especially in the evenings. It was nice to have everything so accessible while still having a relaxing and peaceful place to stay. Overall, we had a very pleasant and enjoyable stay. We would definitely consider coming back again!

This hotel is super convenient, just a short walk from the Johor Bahru customs checkpoint. Right outside, you'll find tons of local food stalls operating from morning till night, offering plenty of choices. It's also close to an old street with popular eateries and a bus station, making it easy to get around. The room is small but charming and has all the basic amenities. The lobby's strong air conditioning is a welcome relief.

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.

We paid $170 for a 3D2N stay in a Superior Room with breakfast for a birthday staycation. Unfortunately, despite it being a birthday stay, no special amenities or gestures were provided during our stay. The hotel’s location is very convenient, with KSL City Mall just opposite. We opted for twin beds because the room was available when we checked in at 12pm; otherwise, we would have had to wait until the official 3pm check-in time. The room was spacious and well equipped with disposable slippers, a safe, shower amenities, and toothbrushes. There was also a full-length mirror and a table, which were useful. However, there were a few downsides. The TV did not support screen sharing, and the beds were quite hard, which may not be comfortable for everyone. Breakfast was fairly average and the dining area was very crowded, so we only had breakfast on one of the two days. On the positive side, we absolutely loved the infinity pool, which was definitely one of the highlights of our stay.

The location is great, very convenient for driving to Sutera Mall and nearby areas. It's a quiet hotel nestled in a bustling area. There are also plenty of food options nearby, like R&C, Ah Shui Durian, and Yu Xiao Er. If you don't have a car, there's a large food court downstairs that's open very late; I once saw it still lit up past midnight when I returned to the hotel. Next to the hotel, there's also an indoor badminton court and a McDonald's (inside the petrol station), so it's super convenient overall. The hotel also has pools for both kids and adults, a gym, and a conference room. The biggest advantage of this hotel is the incredible water pressure – showering is a real pleasure. I've stayed here 5 times already and will definitely keep coming back.

Overall, I had a pleasant stay at this hostel. The dormitory was clean and the bed was comfortable enough for a good night’s sleep. The location was convenient, with easy access to public transport and nearby food options. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The only downside was that the shared facilities could have been better maintained, and it could get a little noisy at night due to other guests. Despite that, it was still good value for money, and I would consider staying here again if I’m looking for a budget-friendly accommodation.

I reached the hotel around 5.30p.m. Unfortunately the room wasn't ready for me to check in. The receptionist said it will be ready within 20-30 minutes. After half an hour the room was still not ready. I had to go somewhere else rather than sitting there waiting. I only came again at around 10.30p.m. And the room was ready to be checked in. What an experience. On the other hand I love the breakfast spread. To me there are varieties of choices. I think I will come again.

1. Free but old and dimly lit parking lot. 2. Slow check-in process at the front desk. 3. Strong smell of soap in the hallway. 4. The room was okay, but there was no toothbrush or slippers. There were a lot of hairs and black spots on the bed, and the towels were dirty. I contacted the front desk to change the sheets and towels, and it took 20 minutes for someone to arrive. 5. You have to carry your luggage up the stairs from the parking lot to the front desk. A sign on the stairs says the door closes at 12, so you have to use the main entrance. 6. Very limited breakfast options, and the milk was sweet. Fried eggs cost extra.

✔ Good option after the evening rush hour

Weekday mornings

✖ Expect heavy commuter traffic and longer waiting times

Weekday evenings

✖ Busy with commuters returning from Singapore

Friday evenings

✖ One of the busiest periods due to weekend travel
