This combination is increasingly popular since the RTS Link opened, offering a fast, traffic-free alternative to the bus for the border crossing itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>KL Sentral \u2192 JB Sentral (ETS):<\/strong> ~5 hours<\/li>\n<li><strong>JB Sentral \u2192 Woodlands (RTS Link):<\/strong> ~5 minutes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Total:<\/strong> ~5.5\u20136 hours<\/li>\n<li><strong>Price:<\/strong> ~RM80\u2013100 combined<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Journey Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Method<\/th><th>Time<\/th><th>Cost from<\/th><th>Best for<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Flight<\/td><td>~1.5 hours<\/td><td>$25 USD<\/td><td>Speed<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bus<\/td><td>5\u20136 hours<\/td><td>RM50<\/td><td>Budget<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Train + RTS Link<\/td><td>5.5\u20136 hours<\/td><td>RM80<\/td><td>Comfort \/ no traffic<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to Stay in Singapore<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marina Bay and the Civic District are central and convenient for major attractions.

It bypasses the notorious Causeway traffic jams and is one of the fastest ways to cross the border on foot\/by rail rather than by car or bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the bus or flight better from KL to Singapore?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For most travellers, the flight wins on time \u2014 it\\&#8217;s roughly 4 hours faster door-to-door despite the airport overhead. The bus is cheaper and avoids airport hassle, and with the RTS Link easing the border crossing, overland travel has become considerably more pleasant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Guides<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Singapore to Koh Lanta: Transport Guide<\/li>\n<li>Singapore to Chiang Mai: Flight Guide<\/li>\n<li>Kuala Lumpur to Penang: Bus and Train Guide<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This post contains affiliate links.
