(Defunct) Causeway Link Bus Service LM1

This bus service has been withdrawn.

Causeway Link Route LM1 was a leisure bus service operated by Johor Bahru-based bus operator Handal Indah, plying between JB Sentral Bus Terminal and Taman Nusa Perintis in the town of Gelang Patah. The route served the leisure destinations of Mall of Medini, Legoland Malaysia and Puteri Harbour.

Route History

Route LM1 was a former leisure route connecting the JB Sentral and Gelang Patah areas with the leisure destinations of Mall of Medini, Legoland Malaysia and Puteri Harbour Family Theme Park (Hello Kitty Town / Little Big Club). The route benefitted locals and tourists alike with an affordable bus route to these destinations in the Nusajaya region of Johor.

Plying long express sectors, Mall of Medini, Legoland Malaysia and PHFTP visitors have access to major transport nodes of Gelang Patah (buses to Singapore via 2nd Link), Larkin (intercity and local buses aplenty) and JB Sentral (local buses aplenty, and buses to Singapore via Causeway).

Following the closure of the temporary Gelang Patah Bus Terminal at Nusa Perintis, the first and last stop of the route is the pair of bus stops along Jalan Gelang Patah, between Persiaran Nusa Perintis and Jalan Nusa Perintis. Terminating buses have a short layover near at Medan Nusa Perintis before resuming their journeys towards JB Sentral. The route has since been extended to the permanent Gelang Patah Bus Terminal.

This bus service has been withdrawn. Afftected commuters can take Bus Service T41 instead.
