You may not be able to get a booking on Grab or find a taxi during busy peak periods.
So knowing how to travel via the local bus system is very useful..... and very cheap too.
From CIQ.... go to JB Sentral ground floor bus terminal for bus services to all over Johor Baru.
CIQ to KSL is shuttle bus which runs every 30mins interval..... 20 mins on weekends. But it ends early as last trip is 9pm. Fare for each 1-way trip is 1 ringgit 30 sen only.
CIQ to Pelangi / Sentosa...... take the buses that go to Kota Tinggi or Masai terminals. They pass along the main trunk road of Tebrau highway which has bus stops within walking distances to GP & NY spas, Pelangi Plaza & Pelangi Mall, Sentosa Plaza etc. The fare to these areas are only 1 ringgit 30 sen.
End to end for the entire route is not more than 2 ringgit. Buses schedule run according to passenger demand so expect a longer wait of up to 30 min interval during off peak hrs. However during peak hrs, interval is shorter about 5-10 mins.
But do note on fridays evenings..... you may have to wait up to 1 or 2 hrs during the evening prayer time. Almost all the bus drivers are malays and practically no buses will be running during that time except for the rare few buses driven by the Indians.
Travelling by bus in JB is much more comfortable now compared to the past as the buses used now have aircon, better seating and newer models.
