Johor–Singapore Causeway
Tambak Johor
A causeway opened in 1924 linking Johor Bahru and Woodlands in Singapore, crossed by hundreds of thousands of people every day, offering a taste of the Singapore–Malaysia land border.
The Johor–Singapore Causeway is about 1 km long and carries roads, railway tracks and water pipelines. It is one of the busiest land border crossings in the world. From Singapore, you can take bus 160 or 170, or the Causeway Link (CW) express bus, to the Woodlands checkpoint. After crossing the causeway, you pass through Johor Bahru's Sultan Iskandar Building (CIQ) and can walk straight into the old town. You can also take the Tebrau shuttle train from Woodlands to Johor Bahru, which takes about 5 minutes. The Johor Bahru–Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) is expected to open by the end of 2026. Queues on weekend peaks can last 1 to 2 hours, so it is best to travel at off-peak times.
