Furthermore, the services will call at new stops which previously did not have a direct connection to Johor Bahru. With fares at an affordable S$5-S$7, we can foresee these services to be a popular alternative for Singaporeans to make a short trip to JB, and for Malaysians to do the same to Singapore.
