Route History

City Bus Route 39 connects Larkin Bus Terminal with Masai via the Johor Bahru City Centre, calling at JB Sentral Bus Terminal in both directions. It duplicates Maju 208 entirely, from end to end.

From Larkin to JB Sentral, the route serves Kolam Ayer and Bukit Saujana residential estates (but not in its return direction). Continuing from JB Sentral Bus Terminal, the route serves many residential areas along Tebrau Highway, such as Taman Abad, Taman Tebrau Jaya, Taman Melodies, Taman Sentosa, Kampung Melayu Majidee and Kampung Bendahara, heading north to Pandan City, Taman Molek, Taman Saujana, Plentong and Seri Alam before terminating at Masai Bus Terminal.

The route between JB Sentral and Masai is identical to Causeway Link 9B, City Bus 133 and Maju 208. However, between JB Sentral and Masai, BET4 offers a faster route of travel via the EDL and East Coast Highway, but operates at lower frequencies.

Fleet:

39 commonly utilizes Mercedes-Benz O405 and Mercedes-Benz OH1318 buses.
