What to Expect

Expect a smooth, efficient border crossing if you're driving or taking a bus, with less congestion than the Causeway. The bridge itself offers views of the Johor Strait and the Singapore skyline in the distance. There are no pedestrian walkways, so you'll need a vehicle. Nearby, you'll find modern developments like Puteri Harbour, with its marina, restaurants, and the Puteri Harbour International Ferry Terminal. The area is clean, well-planned, and quite different from the bustling, chaotic vibe of central Johor Bahru. You might see container trucks and industrial zones, but also newer residential and commercial areas.
