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
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
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?😍😍🤩
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 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?
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.
Thank u @@CKology , I will travel SG on New year I am from KL working foreigner. , as I watched ur video from woodsland mrt->bus 856/856A going to Woodsland checkpoint-> train to JB sentral. May I ask where will be the clearing in both immigration (MY and SG ) happen? Is it at Woodsland checkpoint?
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!
Thanks for this insightful video. Travelling with elderly with slightly difficulty with walking... based on your experience , will it be difficult for them? Thx
Hello, I really like the way present in details. Its so very helpful. I have one thing to know as i will traveling Singapore to Malaysia very soon. I want to travel from Singapore to Alor setar, Kedah in Malaysia. Can you please guide me to reach my destination through train? Btw I am from Bangladesh.
thank you for the video its really helpfull but i have one question. can i go back and forth just for 2 days from Johor to Singapore through this train (even i am not Singaporean or Malaysian)?
@@CKology thank you so much but also another question. how about we do a mistake for choosing time for depart? is it okay to buy another ticket but choose different time?
Weekday expect up to 2 hours, weekend and peak hours could be up to 6 hours for bus and car (taxi). For train you only lining up with the same passengers hence it takes only 20 mins max.
@@CKologyhi thanks for guidance. Ive been successfully bought shuttle tebrau woodland to jb central via online.on saturday afternoon it really takes only 20 minutes including immirgation check?
Hello CK. I have a trip to Penang, and then to Singapore. Is there a train from Penang to Singapore? or I have to buy air ticket to fly from Penang to Singapore? Thanks in advance.
@@CKology so whn we arrive at the Jb Sentral train station from Singapore , we just find the locket and buy the bus ticket to Kuala Lumpur right? Because there's no direct train from JB to Kl
My question is now for Chinese people, it is convenient to use this train way from Singapore to Malaysia? Since now malaysia and Singapore both visa free for Chinese 😂
@@CKology I heard that both MY and SG custom is in the same place (Woodlands CIQ) right? If I'm Indonesian, when I arrived at JB Sentral (by train) I have to go to MY imigration again? Or I can go through?
I heard the tickets for good timings have all sold out until the end of this year 😅😅😅 At this point you might as well just apply to use the auto gate with your passport if you are just going up and down the causeway 😅
CK, I use STP for MRT and bus payments. But at the Woodland MRT station I have already returned the STP. So can the 856 bus be paid in cash? How much when I can pay in cash?

Its there any bus from Changi Airport direct to Woodlands Train Station ? What I do research, most bus direct to Woodlands Bus Interchange. Thanks
I don’t think there’s a direct 🚌

Free seating
hi, thanks for your video. but i would like to ask if it is possible to travel in 1 day from johor bahru to national stadium for taylor swift concert?
The earliest train leaves around 830 am
So once u get down from the train no immigration is it. U do both immigration before entry?
Yes both on Woodlands

CW buses in Bugis, Kranji or newton circus. Direct to jb Malaysia customs. $4.60 from sg to jb and MYR4.60 from jb to sg.
Is it possible to pass it by bicycle? I wanna cross the border from Singapore to Malaysia just for an hour or so and wanna cycle back to Singapore.
i think it is possible

Yes there are like normal train
Hi sir thank you for this video ..can u book train tickets months and months advance like planes? Or what's your recommendation?
The tickets will only be available about a month before

For return to SG, the route is busy? Im booking for return ticket around March, but theres no seat available
There’s a school holiday in Singapore in mid March
@@CKology I see thank you for info
Sure thing
Custom clearance on the train? Thanks
After immigration
My question is: do we need to get off the train to do immigration processing? Thanks
U go through before boarding
Great video.
Hi, how can you get from singapore to legoland malaysia? Our arrival at singapore is 1pm. Is there any bus going there around that time?
Best book a private car
thank you for the video its really helpfull but i have one question. can i go back and forth just for 2 days from Johor to Singapore through this train (even i am not Singaporean or Malaysian)?
Sure if you don't need visa for both country
@@CKology thank you so much but also another question. how about we do a mistake for choosing time for depart? is it okay to buy another ticket but choose different time?
Yes you can I also showed cancellation policy
Do I need visa for Malaysia?
Im coming from India to Singapore
Check with authorities ✨✨
Hi, can you share how many time takes in Malaysia custom, and Singapore custom? For each custom
With the train only a few mins, If u are Malaysian, use egate
@@CKology I'm Indonesian. Wow it's fast. How about Singapore custom?
Same, u are only lining up with the same train passenger
@CKology hi...what hours we spend from woodland to jb include imigration?
Weekday expect up to 2 hours, weekend and peak hours could be up to 6 hours for bus and car (taxi). For train you only lining up with the same passengers hence it takes only 20 mins max.
@@CKologyhi thanks for guidance. Ive been successfully bought shuttle tebrau woodland to jb central via online.on saturday afternoon it really takes only 20 minutes including immirgation check?
yep
Why i cant buy ticket online destination woodlands CIQ?
Don’t understand 🔺
@@CKology its oke, I've found the answer
good
Hallo, Thanks for the video. As Foreigner and traveller, i brought my family to use the train, is it recommended?
Yes, definitely
@@CKology From Woodland, is there any MRT station access to destinations in SG? or just buses?
Woodland MRT connects you everywhere, it's call the red line
@@CKologywhat's the nearest MRT station from Woodland checkpoint? How far?
the answer is in my video
Hello CK. I have a trip to Penang, and then to Singapore. Is there a train from Penang to Singapore? or I have to buy air ticket to fly from Penang to Singapore? Thanks in advance.
You will change train in jb to get into 🇸🇬
I am not clear. Do I need to take a train from Penang to JB? or fly from Penang to JB, then change train in JB to SG?🥺
That is correct. Change train in JB to go anywhere in Malaysia. There's a direct train JB to Butterworth
Is there any bus from JB sentral where the train ends, straight to KL? or we need to go another station?
plenty
@@CKology so whn we arrive at the Jb Sentral train station from Singapore , we just find the locket and buy the bus ticket to Kuala Lumpur right? Because there's no direct train from JB to Kl
@@CKology thanks so much . Really help. GBU
Yes there's a train to KL, you just need to switch train and platform
My question is now for Chinese people, it is convenient to use this train way from Singapore to Malaysia? Since now malaysia and Singapore both visa free for Chinese 😂
Yes it’s convenient
❤
TQ
Halo, i was buy tebrau ticket for jb sntral in september. Can you tell me. When you arrive in jb sentral must to go in immigration again?
When you arrive at JB there's no more immigration. You pass both countries 🛃 immigration in Woodlands before boarding the train
Oh oce, thank a lot
sure
Are trains usually on time? Or was it delayed because they were waiting for people to go through immigration?
Usually on time u need to bo there 30 mins before train 🚂 leaves
Hi I will stay at JB this month. If I go from JB Sentral to Woodlands Singapore by train, Must I go to Malaysia custom first?
Yes you do
@@CKology I heard that both MY and SG custom is in the same place (Woodlands CIQ) right? If I'm Indonesian, when I arrived at JB Sentral (by train) I have to go to MY imigration again? Or I can go through?
Yes both for everyone
@@CKology so when I arrived at JB Sentral, I have to go to Malaysia custom again?
When i's the busy time ? I'm planning to go from JB to SG 10AM and then come back from SG to JB 8PM
So difficult to get the train tickets unless you buy way ahead or buy odd hour tickets. Tried so many times but to no avail.
That is a draw back
I heard the tickets for good timings have all sold out until the end of this year 😅😅😅
At this point you might as well just apply to use the auto gate with your passport if you are just going up and down the causeway 😅
Tickets are only open 3 weeks before, so that is not true
CK, I use STP for MRT and bus payments. But at the Woodland MRT station I have already returned the STP. So can the 856 bus be paid in cash? How much when I can pay in cash?
May i know 856 where did you took from?
