Can help me with some directions, please?

The last time I entered JB was 2 years ago.
Now, I wish to take a bus ride into JB, to City Square Mall.
I intend to take SMRT bus 950 from Woodlands Regional Centre.
I know the bus will use the Causeway.

Does the bus stop at JB Sentral?

Is this the place where I clear the CIQ Custom and Immigration?

Is JB Sentral linked to City Square Mall?

Where do I take the SMRT bus 950 back into Singapore?

TYIA.

Bus will stop at JB CIQ for you to clear immigration and then you walk out of the building - you'll see most people exit via a doorway on the left, making a u-turn - just follow the crowd. Via escalators and the link bridge, the next building is JB Sentral and thereafter links to City Square.
Note that you need not go down to the street level, just follow the link bridge.


Is this the place where I clear the CIQ Custom and Immigration?
CIQ Building is where you clear immigration and customs, JB Sentral is where the train ticket counters, and the bus station, are.

Is JB Sentral linked to City Square Mall?
Yes, via the link bridge.

Where do I take the SMRT bus 950 back into Singapore?
From City Square, via the link bridge, walk back to CIQ building. Those leaving JB will keep to the right once entering the CIQ building. Follow the crowd, and after you've cleared immigration and customs, walk straight ahead and go down the escalator on the further right (the escalator next to a passenger lift).
Make a u-turn and you'll see the Q for 950 somewhere after the Causeway Link's bus bay.

Please see above. :)

Finally today visited JB by bus!

Waited for bus 950 at Woodlands Regional Interchange.
Long queue, I boarded a bus after 40 mins wait (20 mins interval).

Bus drove to Woodlands checkpoint within 10 mins. Clear traffic.
All alighted to clear Singapore Immigration.

I saw people rushing after clearing the customs and I knew I also had to rush... for the bus!!

Too late! I couldn't get up and had to wait 20 mins for the next one.

20 mins later, boarded bus and it drove through the Causeway and into Malaysia CIQ Complex within 10 mins. Clear traffic (for buses!)

Cleared Malaysian immigration and customs and walked to City Square.

Going back to Singapore was the exact opposite as when I entered JB.

Thanks everyone for the replies.

If Kranji station is convenient for you as well, you might want to take the bus from there. You can either go for 170 or CW1 - 2 choices instead of just 950 from Woodlands, and they're more frequent too.

JB City Square to KSL by bus is about 1.50rm each. Need wait 30 min.
If you have four pax, that is 6rm.

If you take cab to KSL by meter is 6rm, else non meter is 7-10 rm :)
So by cab is the fastest :)
