Singapore’s Super Bus Boost: Faster, More Frequent, and a Big Ticket Grab
Starting December 20, the border between Singapore and Malaysia is getting a serious upgrade—thanks to a lighter, quicker travel lane and an over‑the‑top bus service surge. Get ready to hop on a bus that’s practically a rocket ship across the Causeway.
What’s Happening?
- 10 Extra Buses each way between Larkin Sentral in Johor Baru and Queen Street in Singapore. That’s a 62% jump from the current 16 daily runs.
- Because of the Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) expansion, the bus operators can now sell 50% more tickets—from 1,440 to 2,160 per day.
- Both operators (Causeway Link and Transtar) have already put the new services on the timetable and the tickets are online for booking from Wednesday 8 AM.
Why It Matters
Earlier this week, Singapore’s Ministry of Trade and Industry told us that vaccinated citizens (and long‑term pass holders) can cross the land VTL without a quarantine. That means more people will be heading to Malaysia for work, weekend getaways, or family visits—and the buses are ready to keep up.
Safety Reminders
- Up to seven days of self‑administered antigen rapid tests for travelers heading into Singapore.
- In Malaysia, travelers must do a daily test regime for six days.
So whether you’re a busy commuter, a weekend wanderer, or a freedom‑fan, you can now enjoy a smoother, faster, and less crowded journey across the Causeway.
How to Get Onboard
- Head over to Causeway Link or Transtar’s website.
- Choose your departure time—the new 10 buses each direction will fill topping off the regular schedule.
- Secure your ticket—60% more seats now.
- Stick to the test protocol, and you’re good to go!
That’s all. Grab a ticket, hop on the bus, and enjoy the breeze of the hinterland—without the hassle of a long wait or a lingering quarantine. Bon voyage!
