While taking the bus is a budget-friendly option, it also comes with several disadvantages:
- You’ll need to alight twice from the bus with your luggage– once for Singapore immigration and once for Malaysia immigration.
- Can be time-consuming, especially with long queues during weekends or public holidays.
- Often crowded and hot during the day.
Tips:
