Bus services to Johor Bahru

 I have travelled to Johor Bahru by bus many times and am familiar with the different buses to take.

Most people go by MRT to Woodlands station to take 950 or Kranji station to take 160, 170 or 170X.

Because 160 and 170 have to serve other parts of Singapore, their arrival time is erratic.

170X and 950 are shuttles to Woodlands checkpoint.

950 is more suitable as it starts from a bus interchange and takes a shorter route to the checkpoint. LTA allocates insufficient buses for 950 leading to long queues. The public has to wait 25 minutes to board the third bus on busy days.

170X starts from Kranji station that it does not have an adjoining bus interchange. The queue is long. 170X also takes a longer time to reach the checkpoint as it travels a longer way.

After the Woodlands checkpoint, all four services travel on the same route to the JB checkpoint.

If adequate buses are provided for 950, therr is no need for 160, 170 and 170X to operate on this stretch.
