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
Payment by Ez-Link card and change for larger denominations is available when boarding from Queen Street Bus Terminal only.

Yesterday issues me about $3.3, but staff never give me ticket, keep saying im not paying off. I keep to touch my ezlink card through the machine but machine always pop-ups “Entry Ok!” But never came out receipt. After that staff keep said im not paying ticket money, if staff keeping this not responsible attittudes, and keep said dont know, never help customer to check the problem is, off course will affect your company. Thank you.
Extremely outrageous waiting time for SJE bus services. I had been in the queue for more than 2 hours (From 5.30pm till 7.35pm and no bus is coming to Bugis bus terminal which is rather ridiculous. (No notification). While seeing Cause Way Link buses and Bus 170 had left more that 10 buses passed through my eyes. Really wasting my time and tired. It will be my last time to take this SJE bus service.
