Johor-Singapore Causeway

The Johor–Singapore Causeway is a 1.056-kilometre bridge connecting Johor Bahru in Malaysia to Woodlands in Singapore. Completed in 1923, it serves as a crucial road and rail link between the two countries. Today, it is one of the busiest border crossings globally, with over 350,000 people traversing it daily. While it holds historical significance and facilitates commerce and travel, the causeway often experiences heavy traffic congestion, especially during peak hours. Despite the congestion, the causeway remains an essential connection between Malaysia and Singapore, symbolizing the close ties between the two nations.

Super bad jam this morning (Sat) even for taking buses. Took 45 mins to clear the bus queue to get onto causeways. Cant wait for mrt to get started.

Walking is very easy, stick to the left side if you are facing malaysia. There is a walking path about halfway, but then after that you have to hug the wall & cross into the car lane past the motorcycles. You need to go to the bus lane to enter Malaysia by foot. Same way back from Malaysia to Singapore. The employees won’t tell you where to go to walk, but if you go to the bus lanes, you will see a turnstile in singapore side and malaysia side you follow the bus lane and walk along the cars. Walking is allowed even though signs say otherwise, the security says you can. Saves you the hassle of buying a bus or train ticket (I bought train tickets in advance but didn’t feel like waiting.) Also if there is traffic it is very safe to walk. Only about 20-30 minutes one way.

Johor–Singapore Causeway shows how connected Malaysia and Singapore truly are constant flow, strong link.

1.056-kilometre (0.66 mi) causeway consisting of a combined railway and motorway bridge that links the city of Johor Bahru in Malaysia across the Straits of Johor to the district and town of Woodlands in Singapore. It was the only land connection between the two from 1928 until 1998, when the Tuas Second Link opened.

Road is smooth. It’s jam because people wanna go JB so it can’t be helped that the road going to SG is jammed. When returning to SG: Use the middle lane. Left lane - you’ll get stuck in the divider and it’s slow AF. *Right lane - you’ll get demerit points if you’re a Singaporean car because there’s always traffic police monitoring this lane up ahead. They’re (more than 1 person) standing on the road itself ya. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. *Today, they opened up one lane on the opposite side of the road for the lorries so you can use the right lane today.

The buy ticket before hand. Need your passport for registration for every passenger. The waiting place have limited seat. People are standing wait. While the train have a lot of seats. However the train is go to place for express auto gate since less people. Very good choice on weekend and people is not comfortable to constantly moving.

If you plan to walk, make sure to walk on the opposite direction of the traffic for safety.
