But for those further out like the West Coast or East Coast then it is better for you to check the GoThere.sg website for directions!!<br /><br />boyen71 .... To go from Melin Manion to Woodlands Checkpoint the easiest (and cheapest) is to walk to Still Rd to bus stop number 83301 and board bus number 966.<br /><br />Alight at Marsling MRT (19 stops later) and take bus number 856 to the checkpoint. <br /><br />Total cost will be $1.80 and will take you approximate one hour.<br /><br />From the first checkpoint (immigration) follow the above directions in the blog posting.Leone Fabrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17184959562671042750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706338710842843554.post-30788468316394610142011-02-27T23:20:49.456+08:002011-02-27T23:20:49.456+08:00hello...we'll arrive in singapore feb 28 and w...hello...we'll arrive in singapore feb 28 and we plan to go to johore bahru on march 2...how do we go to johore bahru from merlin mansion at east coast either via bus or mrt?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15736446962820206249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706338710842843554.post-20595707782658759152010-12-20T23:43:18.623+08:002010-12-20T23:43:18.623+08:00leone,

Change trains (again, just cross the platform) and take the train towards Marina Bay .... but alight at KRANJI MRT.<br /><br />From KRANJI take BUS 170 across to JB according to the above blog posting. All up this will take about 1.5 hours from Changi.. <br /><br />At Changi MRT station ask for a small MRT map ... it will be helpful for you to follow the stops. They are issued free.<br /><br />There are quicker ways to get there, but the above would be the EASIEST if you have not been to Singapore before.<br /><br />You can also get the bus 170 from QUEEN STREET, which is near the BUGIS MRT ..... from Changi Airport it is only 9 stops on the train and then you would walk to Queens St and catch bus 170 from there .... but you would have to ask directions from BUGIS MRT .... there are too many exits from the station and it would be confusing if I tried to explain to you.<br /><br />link to me via FB or email me if you have difficulty in following these directions!Leone Fabrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17184959562671042750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706338710842843554.post-91252099994543735562010-12-04T22:44:09.053+08:002010-12-04T22:44:09.053+08:00Hi there.

I had a feeling you could no longer 'walk across'!<BR/><BR/>I think the bus (170) from Kranji was OK, even though it really was very crowded .... it was the behavior of the passengers waiting for the bus after going thru the Woodlands Checkpoint that was really quite scary. I will not even publish the images I took on my blog. It really was frightening for everyone.<BR/><BR/>You are right though, the timing is the key!!Leone Fabrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17184959562671042750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706338710842843554.post-50541585359639968692009-02-17T13:45:00.000+08:002009-02-17T13:45:00.000+08:00Yes, that's correct. You can no longer walk across...Yes, that's correct. You can no longer walk across.<BR/><BR/>However, there are many ways to hop onto the bus 170. One way to bypass the Kranji rush to some extent is to take a cab to Woodlands Checkpoint, leg it pass the immigration then wait for the bus immediately after the checkpoint.<BR/><BR/>I would say the key to crossing the JB-Singapore border is timing. In the morning from 8 - 9 is a madhouse from JB to Singapore. The reverse is true from 5 onwards. Weekends are also pretty bad. Apart from these times, the traffic is usually pretty good.Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404874584727768253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706338710842843554.post-67768020137355289352009-02-16T13:41:00.000+08:002009-02-16T13:41:00.000+08:00I hear that people are no longer able to 'walk acr...I hear that people are no longer able to 'walk across' ..... maybe something to do with the new checkpoint on the Malaysian side?<BR/><BR/>We have been over a few times before, but gotta admit, last Friday was a nightmare!!!Leone Fabrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17184959562671042750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3706338710842843554.post-85435940861987307222009-02-16T13:34:00.000+08:002009-02-16T13:34:00.000+08:00Ahh, omg... why would you do that? :)Cab to Woodla...Ahh, omg... why would you do that? :)<BR/><BR/>Cab to Woodlands -> depending on where you live 10-20 SD<BR/><BR/>After passing the immigration in Singapore... just walk over!

I used to do the same trip like you guys, took a bus to JB, then to Melacca, Seremban, K.L., Butterworth, Penang, Langkawi, then into Thailand.... it took me 1.5 months (while I was still a student).

I hope Singaporeans can cool down their heads and enjoy their lives, rather than chasing around for things that don't matter at all! I was usually one of those who gave ways, helped others (not to boast about anything).... but was treated like a weird animal... glad you guys are putting this on your blog...Oswald Chonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15379982240127451846noreply@blogger.com
