Johor Singapore Causeway 1st Link 14th June 2024 @1850hrs

Singapore is often seen as a more developed country than Malaysia. However, Johor Bahru offers some things that can be appealing to Singaporeans, even if they consider Singapore their home
Lower Cost of Living: Johor Bahru is generally cheaper. This can be a big draw for activities like dining out, entertainment, and even groceries.
Variety: Johor Bahru has a different vibe than Singapore. It can be a nice change of pace to experience a more laid-back atmosphere and Malaysian culture.
Space: Housing in Singapore is notoriously expensive and often cramped. Johor Bahru can offer larger houses with a more suburban feel, for those who want it.
Convenience: For some Singaporeans, Johor Bahru is close enough for a day trip or weekend getaway. This can be a fun option for a quick escape.
Below are some guidelines a Singaporean can follow to avoid getting stuck
The Johor-Singapore Causeway is a busy crossing with peak hours depending on the direction. Here's a quick breakdown:
Heaviest Traffic:
Weekdays:
Towards Singapore: Mornings (8am-10am) with Malaysians commuting for work.
Towards Johor Bahru: Evenings (6pm-8pm) with Singaporeans returning home.
Motorcycles: Singapore-bound traffic peaks even earlier (5am-7am).
Weekends: Avoid Saturdays due to potential congestion. Sundays are generally lighter.
Best Times to Drive:
Weekdays:
Towards Johor Bahru: Early mornings (before 8am) or later afternoons (after 4pm).
Towards Singapore: Evenings (after 8pm) or possibly during lunchtime (12pm-4pm).
Weekends: Sundays offer the most flexibility, although anytime before 2pm is ideal.
Remember, these are general patterns and traffic can be unpredictable. Consider checking live traffic updates before your trip for the most current conditions.
