The Singapore-Johore Express (SJE) is a cross-border route connecting Queen Street Bus Terminal to Johor Bahru City Centre and Larkin Bus Terminal, via Woodlands Checkpoint crossing. The route is one of three regular cross-border bus services operating out of Queen Street, along with Service 170 and Causeway Link CW2.

The route duplicates the Causeway Link CW2 entirely, with the exception that CW2 serves en-route stops in Johor Bahru while SJE does not. Service 170 on the other hand, plies a local route between Queen Street and Woodlands CIQ Complex via Bukit Timah and Upper Bukit Timah, and as a result, has a significantly longer journey time. Crossing the border, Causeway Link offers greater flexibility with passengers able to board any Causeway Link bus across the causeway after clearing immigration (Causeway Link operates a total of 3 routes).

Due to varying traffic conditions at the Causeway, travel times and waiting times may increase significantly when jams occur. The route does not call at en-route bus stops in Singapore and Malaysia, providing fast connections daily between its four stops at Queen Street, Larkin, and both land checkpoints.

Fares & Inter-Checkpoint Transfer:

At each checkpoint on the Singapore and Malaysian side of the border, passengers will have to alight and clear customs before boarding the bus again. When travelling between Woodlands CIQ Complex and Johor Bahru CIQ Complex in either direction, commuters can re-board any Singapore-Johore Express bus with a valid ticket.

Fares:

Charges section fares. Only Singapore currency is accepted when boarding the bus in Singapore, and Malaysian currency is accepted when boarding from Malaysia.

Destination Adult Fare Concession Fare (Cash)
Queen Street → JB CIQ / Larkin S$4.80 TBC
Larkin / JB CIQ → Queen Street RM4.80 TBC
  • Children under 7 years of age travel free
  • Children aged between 7 and 12 years old, Persons with Disabilities (OKU cardholders) and Seniors aged 60 and above qualify for Concession fares, which are 75% the price of adult fares

    Terrible experience, from 1805hrs until 2005hrs, (2 hrs) still waiting SJE at woodland checkpoint, we want go to Arab st, strongly advise better do not take if u r rush hour. To SJE management, if u think ur company dun care the passenger, pls give up and close your business and let the other capability company to take over. This is my last time to take this brand of bus. đź‘Žđź‘Žđź‘Žđź‘Žđź‘Ž
