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.
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.

P. S. Embracing the serene tranquillity of my homeland now that the foreigners have returned to their own countries for the Chinese New Year. It’s the perfect opportunity to savour the calm and appreciate the beauty of my surroundings while taking advantage of the quietness and the slower pace of life. How I wish this standard for 365 days.
In difficult times, you either swim or drown. Some may be crossing over to Johor to swim.
It’s important to appreciate each nation's diverse challenges, as this helps foster a deeper understanding for different ways of life. The blending of positives and negatives makes each country unique, thus the complex of global societies.
Pattern changing or what? Two friends have been telling me far in advance to keep my leave for their wedding to be held in Bali. Last time wedding angpows averages $200. Now have to pay for flight and acomodation for other people getting married. If come out for excuse not to go sure sour friendship.
If you are over 60 years old, you will notice that the country has changed significantly downwards , as you have experienced it to compare. The tooth nothing but the tooth.
Improvements only began to occur as the election approached???
Singapore ranks in the top 10 of this and that. Who are the participants? People or expats living in districts 9 and 10? Or expats with company packages?

If the wedding invite puts Mr. & Mrs. typically only one will attend to cut ang-pow cost by half.
