Kuala Lumpur To Singapore Train

Taking the Kuala Lumpur to Singapore train can be an adventurous experience for rail travel enthusiasts and a cheap way to travel from KL to Singapore. However there are some drawbacks:

• The journey is very long and slow: over 7 hours and, depending on which train you catch, much of it at night. 
• The trip across the Causeway from Johor Bahru to Woodlands Singapore together with the two customs and immigration stops adds to the journey time and can be frustratingly slow and tedious.
• The train itself is fiercely air-conditioned and uncomfortably cold.
• Facilities on the train are basic.

Here is a review of my recent Intercity Kuala Lumpur to Singapore train trip (and back).

Update as at January 2024 : The information below is now out-of-date. The journey has become even more complicated and slower - you now have to take the ETS Train from KL to Gemas (taking 2h 34 min), then change to the Gemas to JB Sentral Train (taking 4h 36 min plus waiting time) then the shuttle train from JB Sentral to Woodlands (5 minutes plus waiting time).  If you want to take this Kuala Lumpur to Singapore train journey you can book tickets on KTM's website .

A hundred years ago you could do the whole journey on one train. That's progress for you! 

Electrification and modernisation of the Gemas to JB section has still not been completed (several years overdue).

Train Schedule Effective From 10 October 2015

This information is now out of date. I will update once the Gemas to JB electrification is completed . In the meantime refer to KTMB's website for up to date schedules.

Basically there are just three trains per day in each direction:

You will note that the train terminates in JB Sentral (in Johor Bahru, Malaysia). From there you have various options to make your way to Singapore (see Crossing the Causeway below).

Again the train starts at JB Sentral. You have to get from Singapore to JB Sentral first.

You can find the full timetable, including arrival and departure times at intermediate stations, on KTMB’s website .

This shows the stations served by this train:

Classes of Travel

For regular seating there are three classes; Premier, Superior and Economy. I went on Superior (RM33) and returned on Economy (RM18) and there is almost no difference in standard of comfort except that the air-conditioning in Economy was even more freezing than in Superior. Premier class has plusher seating and is more spacious, configured three seats across (two on the left of the aisle and one on the right) whereas Superior and Economy are four seats across.

In Superior and Economy there is no middle arm-rest so not great if you are travelling alone and are seated next to a stranger.

Sleeper berths are popular so better to book well in advance , particularly if you want the best sleeper cabins (Premier Night Deluxe Class).

Update as at 2024: There are no sleeper trains any more on this route.

Ticket Prices Kuala Lumpur to Singapore Train 

The best class of sleeper cabins have their own private toilet and sink but everybody else has to use the communal toilets situated at the ends of each carriage. They are fairly basic as you can imagine but at least toilet tissue and paper towels are provided which is better than most public toilets in Malaysia.

You may have a cafeteria coach on your train which sells simple meals, snacks and drinks (non alcoholic).

The Kuala Lumpur to Singapore train has lengthy stops at some stations (up to 15 minutes) giving time for passengers to get off, warm up and for smokers to light up. 

How to Book Tickets

You could just turn up at KL Sentral and buy tickets at the station but if you want to be sure of getting a seat or a berth it is probably better to book online in advance through KTMB's website , or through one of the online ticket websites. 

Crossing the Causeway

The most painful part of the journey to Singapore is crossing the Causeway which divides the two countries. The train terminates at the modern and spacious JB Sentral station in Johor Bahru. Passengers wishing to proceed on to Singapore have to exit JB Sentral through a series of pedestrian walkways and escalators and enter the adjoining Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) Complex, also known as Bangunan Sultan Iskandar. More escalators and corridors lead you to the Malaysian Immigration counters where you have to get your passport stamped for leaving Malaysia. 

Then you have to cross the Causeway (bridge) itself and you can either take the train known as Shuttle Tebrau to Woodlands ( a 5 minute journey) or a bus (journey time depends on traffic conditions but long delays at peak times are normal). 

I was planning to take the Shuttle train but did not realise that they get booked up 28 days in advance as the service is mainly used by workers doing their daily commute to and from Singapore. So I had to take the bus (many bus operators to choose from) which took about 30 minutes to reach the Woodlands (Singapore) side of the Causeway where you have to disembark and be processed at Woodlands CIQ. More queuing at Immigration counters (you even have to fill in an arrival card) then baggage X-ray before descending to the bus platforms to find your bus for the next onward stage of you journey in Singapore. 

When returning from Singapore back to Malaysia it is the same tedious procedure in reverse.

Of course if you take the long distance coach from KL instead of the train you still have to go through the double CIQ hassle. Even if you are driving your own car, there are long queues to cross the Causeway. 

Next time I go to Singapore I think I will fly to save the bother.

Changes Coming to the Kuala Lumpur to Singapore Train

The extension of the Electric Train Service is continuing. Already the ETS runs as far south as Gemas (as at March 2016) and the plan is to complete it all the way to JB Sentral in the coming months. When completed the journey time will be reduced and there will be more frequent trains.

Further into the future is the planned High Speed Train from KL to Singapore, a bullet-style train which could reduce the journey time to just a couple of hours. This project is still at the advanced planning stage so I imagine it will not happen for another 5 years or so. Update as at January 2021: The High Speed Rail project has sadly been scrapped. Disappointing!

How to Travel From Kuala Lumpur to Singapore by Plane, Bus, and Car

A trip from the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur to Singapore, the world's only city that is also an island nation, takes travelers to the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. The two destinations are only about 220 miles (354 kilometers) apart, so while there are plenty of quick flights between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, those looking for more adventure may want to take a bus or car.

What Is the Cheapest Way to Get From Kuala Lumpur to Singapore? 

An inexpensive and efficient way to get from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore is by bus. The ride typically takes between five and six hours, depending on traffic and processing time at the border. Prices vary widely depending on the company and how luxurious the vehicle is; some include food service, onboard Wi-Fi , and reclining seats. Aeroline (five hours, 20 minutes, from $22) leaves every four hours from Corus Hotel Kuala Lumpur, and Grassland Express (five hours, 6 minutes, from $25) departs five times a day opposite Berjaya Times Square (Bukit Bintang). Buses from Kuala Lumpur arrive in locations all over the city, but many routes terminate in the Golden Mile Complex on Beach Road in Singapore located just south of Little India. Book your ticket online, over the phone, or in person at least one day prior—or many days in advance if traveling during busy holidays such as Hari Merdeka or around the end of Ramadan .

What Is the Fastest Way to Get From Kuala Lumpur to Singapore? 

Several airlines fly between Kuala Lumpur International Airport and Singapore Changi Airport throughout the week, with approximately 55-minute flights starting at about $15 for a one-way ticket. Some airlines serving this route include Jetstar, AirAsia, Malaysia Airlines, SilkAir, Malindo Air, and Singapore Airlines, with many offering daily flights.

How Long Does It Take to Drive?

The 220-mile (354-kilometer) drive from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore takes about three hours, 45 minutes on Lebuhraya Utara-Selatan/E2, which for the most part is straight and in excellent condition. Suburban concrete eventually gives way to the green blur of palm and durian plantations along the route, allowing you to see a bit of the Malaysian countryside. Some sections of the trip have tolls (E37 and E2 in Malaysia), and you will have to cross a very busy border between countries. Before you go, read up on road requirements for the two countries, as well as Immigration and Checkpoints Authority information for entering Singapore.

Singapore offers many free parking lots and you can use a mobile app to reserve a parking space (paid by the hour).

When Is the Best Time to Travel to Singapore?

The ideal time to visit Singapore depends on what you are seeking in a vacation. If dry weather is important to you, head to the island nation during the summer months of June, July, and August, though air quality can be an issue. Try to catch the Singapore Food Festival , a month-long celebration or if you would prefer fewer crowds, make a trip in the fall, when The Singapore Grand Prix , part of the Formula One World Championship, takes place. 

Do I Need a Visa to Travel to Singapore? 

People from most countries may stay for free for 90 days in Singapore and do not need a  tourist visa , though some nationalities will need the documentation. When entering Singapore, travelers are usually required to show a passport valid for six months, an electronic arrival card, an onward ticket, and proof of funds for your whole stay in the country. Review all the requirements before making the trip and don't lose the exit card you are given, which is needed when you leave Singapore.

Can I Use Public Transportation to Travel From the Airport? 

The Singapore Changi Airport is at the eastern end of the island, about 11 miles (19 kilometers) from the city center. The SMRT subway leaves every 10 minutes and is a 35-minute ride to the city; you will make a two-minute transfer in Tanah Merah and end up at City Hall (costs start at $2). Another easy option is to take a taxi (16 minutes, from $17) with SMRT Taxi, or ComfortDelGro, among others. Jayride offers shuttles (16 minutes, from $15), and rental cars are available for rental at the airport.

What Is There to Do in Singapore?

Singapore offers various activities for tourists, from hiking in green parks to exploring the Singapore Zoo's endangered animals set up in cageless housing to relaxing on the island's east coast beaches and Sentosa Island. Several museums in the civic center highlight ancient history, modern art, and more. Dining on Indian, Malay, or Cantonese cuisine at food courts known as "hawker centers" is a fun way to get immersed in the local scene, as is shopping for souvenirs at the markets around Little India and Chinatown. Check out Marina Bay for some skyline views and to enjoy performing arts at the Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay.

It will take you just over five hours to get to Singapore by bus.

The flight takes approximately 55 minutes from take off to landing.

Singapore is 220 miles (354 kilometers) from Kuala Lumpur.

Kuala Lumpur to Singapore

Best options, other options, kuala lumpur to singapore schedule, how to get from kuala lumpur to singapore.

Riverside colonial mansions rub shoulders with gleaming state-of-the-art skyscrapers; modern shopping malls in Orchard Road compete in popularity with bustling markets in Chinatown and Little India; majestic Marina Bay Sands towers rise high in the horizon and gigantic Super Trees leave you speechless. Streets dressed in glass and concrete coexist peacefully with green parks and the imposing Sentosa Merlion observes silently its lands. The former British colony has become Asia’s most expensive city after Hong Kong and Beijing; the only Asian country with the top AAA rating from all the credit rating agencies, Singapore is one of the four Asian Tigers. It is fun to reflect on how time flies and changes the faces of world cities sitting comfortably in Long Bar at Raffles Hotel sipping the famous Singapore Sling and, following century-old tradition, throwing nut shells right on the floor.

Very clean and somewhat tough with its strict rules, Singapore has its undeniable appeal, and it is not rare to hear from those who have just come back from their first visit to the city-state that Singapore feels to them as the perfect place for living.

The route between the two cities is well travelled. Buses and trains whisk passengers from Malaysia to Singapore and vice versa any time of the day and night. While travelling by train is an experience in itself, some buses provide you with all the possible modern comforts and the travel time is considerably less.

To feel the real taste of the city, let modernity and history go hand in hand during your stay in Singapore. Shop till you drop in Orchard Road, dance till you are dead in Clarke Quay, gamble, lounge, splurge, and do not stop until you have tasted the best of Perenakan, Malay, Chinese and Indian dishes all around the city. Here are some ideas not to miss.

• The brand image of Singapore is Marina Bay Sands Hotel & Casino . Three 55-floor towers contain 2560 hotel rooms, a museum, two theaters and ice-skating rinks, seven restaurants and the cult infinity pool plus breathtaking city views.
• A ride over Singapore Flyer is an unforgettable experience. The gigantic 2008-built Ferris wheel is 165 m high, which is 30 m higher than the famous London Eye.
• Get your portion of adrenaline in Sentosa's adventure parks and attractions , watch the dancing fountains show and step on the southernmost point of the continental Asia. Take a cable-car ride and observe the enormous port stuck with loads of sea containers.
• The Singapore Zoo and Night Safari have long secured their presence in every visitor's must-see list. Even without the little ones in tow, do not hesitate to give the both a glance.
• Do they say that Singapore is not Asia? Oh, yes, it is ! Savour the regional flavour in Little India or Singapore Chinatown .

And remember that no visit to Singapore is complete without paying respect to the city's founder, Sir Raffles. Greet him with a classic Singapore Sling at the signature Raffles Hotel. Prosit, dear Sir Raffles, and accept our most sincere gratitude for your outstanding creation.

Kuala Lumpur to Singapore (KL to SG) How to Travel by Bus, Train, Flight

The best way to get from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore at the moment is to either fly or take a bus, as currently the railway line to Johor Bahru (just over the border in Malaysia) is being upgraded to accommodate the new, fast Electric Train Services (ETS).

This upgrading work is due to be completed by 2022.

What is the distance from KL to Singapore?

About 350 Kilometres overland by road, 300 km by air.

Bus from KL to Singapore

(Bas dari KL ke Singapura)

If you are on a budget and are looking for the best way to get from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore cheaply and fairly quickly, taking a direct bus is a good option.

Buses in Malaysia are very comfortable, usually with rows of three, large, reclining seats.

The duration of the journey by bus from KL to Singapore is usually between 5 and 6 hours (with a toilet / refreshment break along the way) and often depends on the amount of time it takes to cross over the Causeway into Singapore, as the border crossing is often very congested during the peak hours, with many thousands of commuters crossing into Singapore daily for work.

The most frequent and cheapest coaches from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore leave the huge Terminal Bersepadu Selatan Bus Station (TBS for short) which is the main Kuala Lumpur bus terminal for buses heading south. A cheap bus ticket to Singapore from TBS starts at around 50 MYR and can go up to over 100 MYR for the most luxurious VIP coaches. TBS bus station is located outside the city centre and can be easily reached by train.

The advantage of departing from here is you miss most of the traffic in the city centre, which can be horrendous during the peak commuting hours in the mornings and late afternoon / evenings.

How to get to TBS Bus Station from KL City Centre: The Bandar Tasik Selatan Railway Station is directly linked to TBS Bus Station by a pedestrian bridge. Depending on where you are staying in KL, you have a choice of taking the Light Rail Transit (LRT) to BTS, a cheap KTM Komuter Train from KL Sentral, or the more expensive, but non-stop KL Transit Train from KL Sentral.

Please see our Bandar Tasik Selatan KTM Trains page here for more information >

Once you arrive at TBS, if you have not already purchased a ticket, head for the ticketing area where you will find many bus companies ticketing booths.

Bus companies with departures from TBS to Singapore include:

• Transtar Travel
• Qistna Express
• Season Express
• Sri Maju Group

Other options for coaches departing from KL city centre to Singapore are:

• Berjaya Times Square / Jalan Imbi (Five Stars Express / Starmart Express / Grassland Super VIP Express / KKKL Express / UN Express / WTS Travel).
• Terminal KTM Old Railway Station or KL Sentral Bus Terminal (Nice / KKKL Express).
• One Utama Bus Terminal (Five Stars Express).
• or from KLIA or KLIA2.

Book bus tickets from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore online here >>>

There is no official bus station in Singapore and arrival points vary depending on the bus company and route. Here are a few of the most popular arrival points in Singapore:

• Boon Lay Shopping Centre
• Golden Mile Complex
• Little India

It is important you know where your bus is heading to as it may be a long way away from where you plan to stay in the city.

So, our advice -  it is always best to do some advance planning, decide the area where you want to stay in Singapore first, then find a bus company that arrives close to where you want to stay, or at least close to an MRT station so you can easily travel to you final destination.

For a good way to find bus / MRT routes within Singapore, please visit smrt.com.sg .

They have a very handy "Journey Planner" where you put in your point of origin and destination and it works out the best routes to take by bus and/or MRT Train.

Flights from KUL to SIN

(Penerbangan dari KUL ke SIN)

The route between KUL Kuala Lumper International Airport (KLIA) and Singapore Changi Airport SIN, only takes about an hour (flying time) and is one of the busiest international air routes in the world, with over 80 flights a day and 4 million passengers a year travelling in either direction.

The route from KUL to SIN is operated by a variety of cheap budget airlines including:

• Malindo Air

You can also fly on either countries flagship airline:

• Malaysian Airlines
• Singapore Airlines

Another option is to fly from Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah, Selangor (Subang Airport or Subang Skypark) SZB to SIN with Firefly, another budget airline in this area of SE Asia.

With so many flights and carriers on this route, you can easily find some really cheap deals, making flying to Singapore a good option to consider.

The only drawback to travelling by air from KL to Singapore is the time it takes to reach the airport in Kuala Lumpur.

The quickest, but most expensive way is to take the KLIA Ekspres Train from KL Sentral .

This high-speed rail link to KLIA / KLIA2 takes just 28 minutes or 33 minutes to get to either terminal and costs 55 MYR.

A much cheaper way to get to the airport in KL is to take one of the buses from underneath KL Sentral Station.

These only cost 10 MYR, but can take quite a long time (at least an hour in good traffic).

Singapore Airport is located in the eastern corner of the island at Changi and is around 20 km to the city centre (depending on where you are going to) and should take between 20 and 30 minutes.

Travel options include taking a taxi, airport shuttle bus or the MRT train (see the link to the SMRT website at the bottom of the bus section above).

Train from KL to Singapore

(Keretapi dari KL ke Singapura)

As already mentioned, currently the train is not the best way to travel from KL to Singapore as the fast electrified tracks have yet to be completed between Gemas and Johor Bahru's JB Sentral Railway Station.

This means you have to take three separate trains to get to Singapore's Woodlands Train Checkpoint / Station, with the quickest journey taking around 10 hours to get to the city centre.

Currently, you have to take:

• An ETS fast train from KL Sentral to Gemas.
• A slower Shuttle train from Gemas to JB Sentral.
• A short 5 minute Shuttle train over the Causeway from JB to Woodlands.

From Woodlands (which is located in the very north of Singapore), you then have to take a taxi or a combination of bus and MRT to get to the city centre

Train Timetables:

Once the ETS tracks come online (due to be completed in 2020), the duration of the journey by train from KL Sentral to Singapore will be cut considerably.

Until then, you are much better off flying or taking a bus.

However, if the cost is a factor and you are travelling on a very tight budget, there is a way you can travel by train that is the cheapest way to travel between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.

This route involves taking a cheap KTM Komuter services to the end of the line at Tampin, then connecting to the Shuttle service to JB Sentral.

Please click here for more information, ticket prices / fares and train timetables to Singapore >

There are future plans to build a new Bullet Train Line between KL and SG which will then become the fastest way to travel between the two cities, with high-speed trains taking just 90 minutes to make the trip. This HSR route between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore is still in the planning stage so we will have to wait and see if / when it gets built.

Suggested Routes / Places to Stop when Travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore

If you are travelling overland in SE Asia, the most popular way to travel from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore is to make a stop in the UNESCO World Heritage town of Melaka (Malacca).

The easiest way to get from KL to Melaka Town is by direct bus.

You can also travel by train, but it is a much longer journey.

If you do want to take a train, you will have to go from KL Sentral to Tampin by either ETS or Komuter services.

From Tampin you will then have to take a taxi or local bus to Melaka.

How to Travel from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia)

The travel distance from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur is only about 350 km (220 miles). There are many ways to travel from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia, including plane, intercity bus, train, and private transfer. The most-chosen way (for international travelers) to get to Kuala Lumpur from Singapore is by plane and the cheapest way is by bus.

1. Travel by Plane — the Most-Chosen Way

Flying seems to be the fastest way to get to Kuala Lumpur from Singapore, though if you're staying close to the Malaysia border in Singapore, a car journey may actually be faster. Once getting to/from the airport, check-in, immigration, baggage claim, and waiting time are considered, the total journey may be anything from 4½ to 6½ hours, depending on your start and finish points.

There are plenty of flights each day with a duration of about 1 hour . Flights depart from Singapore Changi Airport and arrive at Kuala Lumpur International Airport. There are many airlines operating them, including JetStar Asia, Singapore Airlines, Air Asia, Scoot, Malindo Air, Malaysia Airlines, Silk Air, and Firefly. You may get a cheap flight ticket for as little as USD$40.

2.Travel by Bus — the Cheapest Way

Travel by bus from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur is a possibly-more-convenient and inexpensive alternative to a flight. It takes about 5–6 hours by bus and it is the most recommended way to travel for the following reasons:

• Best price : one way costs about USD$11–35 per ticket.
• Kuala Lumpur city center arrival (instead of 40 km away at the airport)
• Good travel experience : Buses are equipped with air-conditioning and comfortable adjustable seats, which are wide and comfortable. Some companies also offer TVs in the compartments and wireless Internet access. Luxury bus companies even provide snacks, meals, and drinks on the bus.
• Many choices : There are many bus companies operating a variety of schedules, such as StarMart Express, Transfer Travel, Seasons Express, Sri Maju Group, The One Travel, and Grassland Express.

Price tips:

• There is a price difference depending on the bus's facilities and comfort level.
• Some cheap bus companies will not choose the most efficient route (to pick up more passengers) and will take about one hour more for the trip.

Although each long-distance company has different departure and arrival points, but most of the buses depart from Golden Mile Complex in Singapore and terminate at Terminal Bersepadu Selatan in central Kuala Lumpur.

Procedure for Crossing the Singapore-Malaysia Border

Compared with air travel, the procedure for crossing the border overland is a little different and more complicated. Generally, buses from Singapore to Malaysia go to Singapore's Tuas Checkpoint for exit inspection, and then go to the Malaysian checkpoint in Gelang Patah for entry inspection. When arriving at the border:

• Get off the bus with the necessary documents (passport, visa), but you can leave luggage in the bus.
• Process through Singapore's Tuas Checkpoint for the exit stamp in your passport.
• Get onto the bus again, cross the bridge over the Johor Strait, and after 10–15 minutes you'll reach the Malaysia border control area.
• Get off the bus with all your belongings this time, pass through Malaysian customs and get your entry stamp for Malaysia. You will be screened before entering.
• For a quick crossing, please prepare your exit card in advance.
• Please prepare your entry card and complete it in advance before going through Malaysian Immigration.
• Declare whatever you bring that might cause some problems such as alcohol and cigarettes.
• Please note that it may take about 1 hour for you to cross the border if it is not crowded, but the whole procedure might be delayed and you may have to wait for hours in line if it is crowded.

3. Travel by Train — the Train Travel Lovers Option

Going to Kualu Lumpur by train is another option for train travel lovers, but unfortunately, there is no direct train available between Singapore and KL . If you want to go by train, you have to change train twice! The total cost of the train tickets is from USD$16 for a one-way trip, and it takes about 8–9 hours including the waiting and train changes time.

• Firstly , you can take a train from Singapore Woodlands Train Station to JB Sentral (Johor Bahru Central) in Malaysia, which takes about 5 minutes, USD$4 per ticket
• Then , take train from JB Sentral to Gemas Station, which takes about 4½ hours and is USD$5 per ticket.
• Lastly , take a train from Gemas Station to KL Sentral (Kuala Lumpur Central) which takes about 2½ hours and USD$7 per ticket
• Scan your passport at the gate checkpoint to enter Woodlands Train Station.
• Clear Singapore Immigration.
• Go through Malaysian Customs and Immigration.
• Board the train.
• Please arrive at the train station at least 30 minutes before departure for checking in and passing immigration.
• The platform gate will close 10 minutes before departure.
• There are more than 30 trains per day between Woodlands and Johor Bahru Sentral, but train ticket booking is always tight. Tickets can be booked from about 30 days before departure.
• You can buy tickets at Woodlands CIQ ticket window or book a ticket online at https://www.ktmb.com.my/ . Trains are operated by Malaysia's KTMB train company.
• If you book a ticket online, you have to get a paper ticket printed out at Woodlands CIQ ticket window (using your booking details).
• Trains from Woodlands to Johor Bahru are shuttle trains. Trains from JB to Gemas are normal trains and most of them offer only First Class seats. Trains from Gemas to Kuala Lumpur are high-speed trains with only First Class seats.

4. Travel by Private Car — the Most Convenient Way

Compared with public transportation, and even flights, with the stress of carrying your luggage on and off, waiting for entry/exit checks, etc., a 4-hour private transfer from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur is the most comfortable and convenient way to get there.

It is a door-to-door service , and your private driver will meet you at your hotel lobby or any place in Singapore. It is flexible and you can leave at any time. What is more, it is absolutely hassle-free! When you cross the border, you do not need to get out of the car to clear immigration. Your experienced driver will help you to process through immigration smoothly.

The price of the transfer is from USD$250 per person based on two passengers. Contact us for our hassle-free private transfer service.

5. Travel by Taxi — Vehicle Change Needed

You cannot take a taxi from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, but it is easy for you to take one to Johor Bahru, the nearest Malaysian city to Singapore . There are three kinds taxies: fixed-point taxis, Johor Bahru non-fixed-point taxis, and Singapore non-fixed-point taxis

• Fixed-point taxis can only carry passengers between Singapore Wanshan Street Taxi Terminal (next to Queen Street Bus Terminal, a 10-minute walk from Bugis MRT Station) and Johor Bahru Larkin Station.
• Johor Bahru non-fixed-point taxis can carry passengers from any place in JB to Singapore Wanshan Street Taxi Terminal.
• Singapore non-fixed-point taxis can carry passengers from anywhere in Singapore to Johor Bahru Larkin Station.

The price is about USD$36 per taxi.

You can clear customs quickly as you do not need to get out of the taxi for immigration clearance.

From Johor Bahru Larkin Station, you could continue your journey to Kuala Lumpur in another taxi or take a bus/train. A taxi would take another 4 hours or so and costs around US$150–200, depending on traffic.

6. Travel by Ferry — the Desaru Beach Option

A ferry service is also available between Singapore and Johor Bahru, Malaysia, which is from Changi Ferry Terminal to Tanjung Belungkor at JB.

People who want to go to the Desaru beach area in Malaysia always choose the ferry trip. However, it is an out-of-the-way option if you want to travel on to KL. A Desaru–KL taxi takes from 4 hours 15 minutes and costs around US$160–220 depending on traffic. You might choose to stay at Desaru before continuing your journey.

After arriving in Tanjung Belungkor, you can take a bus to Desaru. There is only one ferry trip in the morning (10:30) and one in the evening (18:30) during work days, and there are more ferries scheduled for weekends and public holidays. The ferry can carry about 12 passengers a time. It is about a 45-minute ferry trip and the price of a crossing is about USD$20 per person. The ferry is operated by Desaru Fruit Farm Tour and Travel company.

Please prepare your valid passport, visa, and ferry ticket to pass immigration at the ports.

Vibrant, colorful, unique, and full of tourist attractions, Singapore is definitely a destination for your bucket list and so to is Malaysia’s capital city, Kuala Lumpur. Roughly 355 kilometers (222 miles) to the north of Singapore, Kuala Lumpur is similar in many ways… a vibrant city that mixes the most modern high-rise skyscrapers with colonial British architecture and religious temples; perhaps this is why so many people choose to travel from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur!

Travel Options from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur

Singapore may be an island, but it lies less than 1 kilometer (approximately half a mile) off the coast of Southern Malaysia and is connected via a couple of bridges. This makes it extremely easy to travel between Singapore and Malaysia, and for travel north to Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur.

So, what are your options for getting from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur? Well, because of the bridges connecting Singapore to the peninsula, traveling by road is a very good option, and there are a number of bus companies that you can choose from for this trip. Travel by train used to be another good option but unfortunately the direct service was cancelled back in 2016 so now going by rail from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur is not so great as it involves a number of changes and a very long journey. This just leaves flying between the two cities. While it is expensive, there are close to 40 flights per day making this the most convenient and fastest way to get from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur.

Flights from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur

Catching a plane from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur is easily the quickest way to travel between these two popular destinations, with a flying time of just under an hour. Add in some time to get to and from the airport at either end and you could still be in Kuala Lumpur in time for lunch! This makes a flight from Singapore ideal for even the shortest of visits to KL, great if you’re pushed for time on your vacation.

There are so many flights to choose from with ten different airlines flying this route. Most of these fly to Kuala Lumpur International – the largest and busiest airport in Malaysia, while some also fly to Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport, aka Subang Airport, and there are around 40 flights per day between these two cities. You should definitely shop around for the best prices as airfares can vary substantially, ranging from affordable to downright expensive! Firefly, for example, is one of the airlines who fly to Subang Airport and their prices are at the reasonable end. If you’re buying in advance and don’t mind flying at a slightly less sociable hour you can also get reasonably priced flights to Kuala Lumpur International as well, while flying within a few days and at a desirable time of day will set you back hundreds of dollars with the likes of Singapore Airlines or Malaysia Airlines.

By Bus from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur

While you can get reasonably priced flights from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, the cost can still be on the high side for anyone trying to travel on a budget. That’s where buses come in! A bus from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur should take somewhere between 5 and 6 hours so you’re losing time by traveling this way, but, the cost is significantly cheaper.

There are numerous different bus companies you can choose from, and if you’ve ever traveled by bus in Asia you’ll know that the quality of the buses can vary from company to company, as does the price. If you prefer a little more comfort and luxury then there are four companies you could look into who operate buses from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, and these are: Five Stars Express, Grasslands Express, StarMart Express, and Konsortium Express. These companies will take you the entire journey which includes crossing the border into Malaysia right at the start of your trip. The border crossing is quite painless though, and mostly handled by the bus staff so you’ll be told and shown what you need to do. Depending on how busy the crossing is, this can add some time to your journey, however, even with a longer crossing included, the total journey time should not exceed 6 hours.

A few words of advice for anyone traveling on a budget. The bus companies mentioned above are great at what they do, but, when you get a ticket starting from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur which includes the crossing into Malaysia you’re going to end up paying more for your seat. If you’d like to save as much money as possible another option is to cross into Malaysia independently. This may add a little extra time to your journey but can save you quite a few dollars. Do this by catching a local bus in Singapore, from the Queen Street Bus Station. This will take you across the Causeway bridge to Malaysia. Cross into Malaysia then buy a bus ticket to Kuala Lumpur from the Larkin Station.

Singapore to Kuala Lumpur by Train

Although there’s no direct train from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, we thought we’d include a brief paragraph about trains anyway as there are still ways to travel by train between the two cities. The journey will now involve three different trains so this is by no means a fast or convenient way of traveling. The total trip should take around nine hours, however, this is easily the cheapest way to travel from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur!

The first train is from Woodland checkpoint in Singapore to the Johor Bahru Sentral in Malaysia. Then take a shuttle train from here to Gemas – about 4 hours and 20 minutes. Finally, there’s a high-speed ETS train from Gemas to Kuala Lumpur – 2 hours and 20 minutes. But you will need to add waiting times into the equation which takes the total journey time up to about 9 hours.

Everything You Need to Know About Bus Travel in Malaysia

Consortium Shortlist for Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High-Speed Rail Project Expected by June

The highly anticipated shortlist of consortiums for the preliminary phase of the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High-Speed Rail (HSR) project is expected to be announced by June, according to Adam Mohamed Rahim, an analyst at RHB Investment Bank Bhd.

The announcement rests on governmental endorsement after assessments performed by MyHSR Corporation Sdn Bhd (MyHSR Corp). Earlier this year, seven consortiums, including a total of 31 companies with diverse expertise, submitted their conceptual proposals to MyHSR Corp in response to a Request for Information (RFI) issued in July 2023. The deadline for these submissions was January 15.

The results from the RFI evaluation are currently under review and will soon be presented to the Ministry of Transport and the Cabinet. If the evaluations receive positive feedback, MyHSR Corp plans to move forward by issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) to the shortlisted consortiums, inviting them to submit detailed proposals.

The initiation of the RFI highlights the government’s dedication to reinvigorating the KL-Singapore HSR project through innovative financing and implementation models. This effort aims to enhance rail transportation infrastructure and stimulate economic growth across the region.

Among the contenders for the project is a consortium led by Berjaya Rail Sdn Bhd, a 70 percent subsidiary of Berjaya Land Bhd (BLand). This group is collaborating with Malaysian Resources Corporation Bhd (MRCB) and Keretapi Tanah Melayu Bhd (KTMB).

In related developments, Rahim also shed light on the upcoming Mass Rapid Transit 3 (MRT3) project, which is expected to launch between the fourth quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025. Land acquisitions for this project are scheduled to be completed by the third quarter of 2024, according to the Mass Rapid Transit Corporation Sdn Bhd (MRT Corp).

Reflecting on the robust activity in the construction sector, Rahim reported that construction projects totaling RM30.8 billion were tendered in the first quarter of the year. Ongoing negotiations for the Penang Mutiara Light Rail Transit (LRT) project, potentially worth over RM10.5 billion, further underscore the sector’s dynamic nature.

Progress is also evident in East Malaysia, where four out of 20 work packages for Phase 1B of the Pan Borneo Sabah Highway, valued at RM15.7 billion, have been awarded as of March 22, indicating positive momentum in the region’s infrastructure development.

As the June deadline approaches, stakeholders in the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore HSR project await further developments with anticipation, recognizing the transformative potential of this cross-border infrastructure initiative.

While trains will be superfast, you can also opt for bus ticket online booking via redBus Malaysia. Get discounts and grab the most from operators like Firstcoach , or Suasana Edaran to Singapore. Transtar travel and so much more!
