Overview 

First things first—your choice of bus depends on where you’re headed in JB. If you’re heading to:

• Mid Valley JB, Larkin, KSL, JBCC, Komtar, JPO, or Mount Austin, then you need to take a bus via Woodlands Checkpoint.

For a more convenient option, try booking a private taxi to JB from Singapore. I’ve taken the SGJBTAXIS.SG in the past and 10/10 would recommend it! It’s faster, more comfortable, and perfect for groups or families.
