Travelling via Air Transportation

Typically, the one-way ticket price from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore would cost anywhere from MYR 100 to MYR 300 and these would typically come with cabin baggage of about 7-10 kilograms for economy class.

There are also premium economy and business class fares which naturally would include higher baggage allowances, around 30-40 kilograms, and would cost around MYR 400 to MYR 1,000.

Again, do triple-check the policies before you proceed with your bookings to avoid getting left high and dry in the end.

Travelling via Ground Transportation

By car

If you are going by car, you can opt to be coming in via Tuas Second Link or via Causeway. Be prepared to be charged to pay for an Autopass and to have your car insurance certificate ready to show.

By bus

If you are going by bus, you can either start your journey from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore or take a bus to Johor Bahru first and from Johor Bahru, take another different bus trip to Singapore. Typically the fares are charged from MYR 45 to MYR 100.

By trains

As for trains, the travel duration can be stretched but the fare can be cheaper. The fare is around MYR 18 to MYR 135 for a train ride from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore.

Nevertheless, it would be best to be careful during the pandemic, as there could be travel restrictions being imposed and specific guidelines to adhere to, which can change from time to time.
