KTM Railway Journey (Johor Bahru to Woodlands) - Dec 2014

---

Sunday, 28th December 2014

On the afternoon when we were supposed to return home from Johor Bahru, we decided to hop onto one of the 5 train services to cross the busy Causeway. It was 2.30pm on Sunday afternoon and like all weekends, the Malaysia Customs was getting really crowded.

H suggested that we turned back the tide and try riding the KTM train back to Singapore. This was a good decision since it would minimise the overcrowding and delays at both sides of the Causeway. Each ticket costs RM3 on the 5 minutes journey into Singapore. Ticket sales started 30 minutes before the trains arrived on a first-come first-served basis.

As a train buff, this was a pleasant ride for me to beat the queues and crowds on a weekend afternoon. For Sundays crossings in future, I would probably utilise the service again.
