Question

Apart from taxi

Answer 1

take the MRT from Changi where you have to alight at Tanah Merah and continue westbound towards Boonlay and change at City Hall to the north-south line and stop at Kranji where you take bus 170 (60 cents) from the bus-stop across the road from teh station. There would be another bus operators there, it's a coach that's yellow and blue if i remember right, and would cost about 80 cents. keep your tickets so you don't have to pay a second time between Woodlands and the Johor checkpoint. This would cost you less than $4.

Another way is to take the MRT to Bugis, walk across to the bus terminal where you can find a cab to the checkpoint as well as bus 170. It should cost you less than $4 although u might get a little lost looking for the terminal and it's a longer bus ride. Personally I don't like the bus ride as it gets you there with a lot of stops that could take you up till 2 hours and might be a little jerky.

Another MRT stop you can travel from is Marsiling station. I forgot what bus you could take from there, if it's 903 or 913 but the station manager should be able to tell you. That is if you don't want to walk. Or you could take a short cab ride from there which would up the expenses by a couple of dollars but under $10. Follow the route for Kranji, it's the stop just before Kranji.

The longer way by train is to take the MRT westbound all the way to Jurong East station, switch trains there and travel to Kranji or Marsiling.

You could also try taking the MRT to Tanjong Pagar, make your way to the KTM line and take a train (the "choo-choo" train) to the Woodlands train checkpoint, though it's a different place altogether. When you end up in Johore, you end up across the checkpoint for people entering by bus/cars.

Another way is to make a friend in Singapore who might be willing to drive you there from the airport :D sorry to say I can't yet :p

Answer 2

Ok, if you want to go via the train (MRT) there is a few line you may have to change. Hope I will not confuse you.

Easier is to go via Taxi, it should be around S$25 to S$30. Not more than.

The station you need to alight is Masling, if you want to walk to the checkpoint (about 20 min without bags).

If you wanna take a bus into JB, which will first stop at Checkpoint for custom clearence, you will beed to alight at Kranji (this station also near to World War 2 War Memorial, and a Turf Club).

Ok, from Changi, you will need to take a east bound train (green line) to Jurong East. About 22 station, it will take you about 45 min.

From Jurong East, you will cross the plateform, and take a north bound train (red line). From there, another 6 stations to Kranji, and 7 stations to Masling. Total about 20 minutes.

The entire trip will cost you less than S$5. And the scene is beautiful. Worth the time, and you can see most part of Singapore, as the train will past by city, residential area, industrial, natural reserve, parks etc.

Enjoy your stay in Singapore.

In JB, should you have any question, just post it up. I may be of help too.

Cheers

Answer 3

U can take the MRT from Changi then alight at City Hall Inter-change then proceed to Kranji MRT.
Alight there and then take bus# 170, the bus will drop off at Woodlands Chekpoint

Answer 4

Am no Singaporean but aware of efficiency of available transportation there, lol!
Try the Changi Airport Express Train (I'm sure there's one) that'll take you to the city center... once there catch the MRT (an underground subway) to Woodlands station.
I believe you may need to either take a bus to get to the checkpoint.
Hope this helped.

Answer 5

seriously,you can't take the mrt because there will be a lot of walking to do if u take the mrt as there is no station saying woodland checkpoint and the nearest is rather far away,so i would suggest u take a taxi down to save some time although u have to spend a bit more.but of cause if u don't mind walking from the nearest mrt station from the checkpoint,you are free to do so.

Answer 6

Hi, the easiest and probably the cheapest will be to take the train from Changi Airport to Bugis Junction. From there, head to Queen Street where you have the option to take the Causeway Link bus for S$3 or the Singapore-Johore Express Bus for S$2.40 or the SBS bus no. 170 for S$1.30 to get into Johore.
