Causeway Link Provides More Info About 24-Hour Bus Service Between SG & JB

There are just a few ways to avoid the jam to JB if you’re commuting from Singapore via road:

• Drive in at 2am, when everyone else is sleeping
• Drive in or take the bus at 2pm, and just have one meal in JB before heading back to Singapore
• Scam over $32 million, get your passports impounded and hide in a lorry container compartment (the thing is you can’t come back)

Well, four days ago, Causeway Link announced a new way: take a bus at 2am, because from 1 August 2022 onwards,  Causeway Link CW2 bus service will be available 24 hours after “increasing request” from their customers.

It would be pointless if the interval is every 5 hours, or that it’ll cost $50 per trip.

Today, Causeway Link provided more information and let’s just say we’re happy with it.

Causeway Link Provides More Info About 24-Hour Bus Service Between SG & JB

For a start, here’s the answer to the burning question: it’ll cost $4.80 if you’re travelling from Singapore (Queen Street) to JB (JB CIQ), and RM4.80 (~S$1.50) if you’re travelling from JB to Singapore.

This means it’s the same price as the normal hours ride.

The extra hours are from 11pm to 4am, and during this period, the interval will be 45 minutes instead of the usual 15 to 30 minutes.

However, do note that EZ Link and NETS payment at the Queen Street Counter are not available to pay the bus fare between 11:30pmto 6:30am Passengers are encouraged to use a ManjaLink card or Visa card as means of cashless payment for the bus fare.

Passengers who want to transfer to and fro Larkin Sentral Bus Terminal during the midnight timing may need to use other mode of transport. However, bus schedule may subject to change from time to time without prior notice due to traffic condition.

Meanwhile, passengers are encouraged to download LUGO App to get the latest bus information of all the Causeway Link bus services. ManjaLink users can also top up their cards in this app.

Lest you’re wondering if there are people working in the checkpoints for buses…yes, there are, as coaches heading to other parts of Malaysia do cross the checkpoints during those hours.

And based on my personal experience, there wasn’t any massive queues at 2am for bus passengers.

So yes, 2am trips can indeed save you lots of time.

The problem is…are shops already open at 2am?
