Taking the train to JB from Singapore is a good choice for those wishing to travel from Singapore to Malaysia, as the border at Woodlands Checkpoint is far quicker to get through than then main crossing over the Causeway.
The trip over to Johor Bahru train station (JB Sentral) takes just 5 minutes and from here you can continue your journey by KTM train to places like Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh, Penang (Butterworth), or all the way to the Thai border at Padang Besar.
