1. Taking bus to Singapore

There are few advantages of taking buses from Johor Bahru to Singapore such as, it's very cheap and you don't need to pre-booking the tickets. Moreover, you can socialize with co-passengers and make new friends. This means you will never be lonely.

The buses also does not bring you directly to the destination. Next, you need to be alert to get on the right bus on time or you waste time waiting for the next bus arrival. Moreover, you share ride with a lot of strangers and during peak hours, you’ll be squeezed and could not even get a seat. The most time consuming travel by buses is at each immigration checkpoint, you need to get off the bus with all belongings. Clearing customs could take 2-3 hours at peak hours so you could not enjoy and relax on the bus. Travel mood may be spoiled. 

In my opinion, travelling by bus is recommended for:
