How do I get from Changi Airport to Johor Bahru?
Short answer: From Changi Airport, the legal door-to-door option to Johor Bahru is a licensed cross-border taxi, booked through a licensed operator or hired at Ban San Street Terminal. Singapore private hire cars and limos may not carry paying passengers into Malaysia. We can drive you from Changi to Ban San Street Terminal or a checkpoint, prepaid online.
Your legal options
| Option | How it works |
|---|---|
| Licensed cross-border taxi, booked in advance | Singapore taxis licensed for cross-border service may pick up anywhere in Singapore, including Changi, and drop off in Johor Bahru, Iskandar Puteri, Forest City, Kulai and Senai. Book with a licensed taxi operator or the licensed cross-border ride-hail operator listed by LTA. |
| Cross-border taxi from Ban San Street Terminal | The designated street-hail point in Singapore. LTA lists fares of S$80 to S$210 per taxi to Malaysia, by vehicle category. |
| Our limo to Ban San Street or a checkpoint | A normal Singapore transfer from Changi to the terminal or the Woodlands or Tuas checkpoint area; you continue by licensed taxi, bus or on foot through immigration. |
| Cross-border bus | Scheduled buses run between Singapore and Johor Bahru; check LTA’s list of services and stops. |
Why a limo cannot take you into Malaysia
LTA states that cross-border point-to-point services between Singapore and Malaysia are limited to licensed Singapore-registered and Malaysia-registered taxis, and that private hire cars are not allowed to provide cross-border services for hire and reward. Changi Airport gives the same guidance. Be wary of anyone at the airport offering a private car into JB: it is not a licensed service.
