The buses will be available in 45-minute intervals, though this will depend on traffic conditions at the checkpoints.
Prices for the bus trips are as follows:
- Queen Street Terminal to JB CIQ – S$4.80
- JB CIQ to Queen Street Terminal – S$1.50 (RM4.80)
Do note that EZ-Link and NETS payments are disabled for the midnight service. Commuters are advised to make their payments using their Manjalink or VISA cards.
The Causeway Link website states that passengers who wish to transfer to and from Larkin Sentral Bus Terminal during the late hours may need to use other modes of transport.
No more last bus anxiety
This news will soothe the anxious hearts of daily commuters who may have had to rush to catch the last bus before.
With the bus service operating throughout the day, travellers can rest easy knowing that they can cross the Causeway anytime, in case of emergencies or due to work schedules.
Those who travel for leisure can also slip into Johor for a supper run if they’d like to.
