Grab to JB bus terminal like Lakin
Lakin to KL (RM 25). Travel time 3-4 hours from JB to KL
At Lakin, pick up a SIM card for internet connectivity. RM 18 for 7 days on Digi
Google your way to your last mile. Beside grab can use MyCar or MULA very cheap
PM me if you need clarification, enjoy your journey |
I PMed you.
Thank you!! So informative. Really helpful for me and others.
I am carefully studying this option you suggest, but overall the only advantage I see seems that I could skip passing the immigration of Singapore, and thus save some space on my passport.
However, the total journey time seems even longer than taking Horizon Ferry from Harbour Bay to Harbour Front, then Aeroline Bus from Harbour Front to Corus Hotel in KL.
Via JB, I have to go to Batam Centre, then in JB after immigration find a taxi who is honest and does not overcharge too much (this is the difficult part), go to Larkin, take the bus which takes me not to KL centre but to the TBS terminal, far away from centre.
Seriously, I am considering to fly instead of bus.
