There isn't much difference in terms of distance between the old and "new" route. Both will take less than 5 mins to reach the retail area of the mall. After alighting, just follow the crowd into the mall. It is very likely they will take the old route (which has signs and marked lines on road) where the other option has no such assistance and is normally taken by staff working in the mall.

PS There is another YouTube video showing going in via old route and coming out via new route. Search for How to go to MidValley Southkey Johor Bahru by bus? uploaded by Maya Stories.
Thank u

It's an entrance directly facing the road and with the sign showing that it leads to the mall, should be able to see from the driveway already. Note that that being part of the loading bay, the doorway would be above street level, up a couple of steps.
Thank u too

Tell her it's waiting while queuing, cannot move from that corridor until the incoming train passengers have alighted and exited. Walk walk to SG immigration, long walk to JB immigration and customs clearance, then board. No photo taking on the platform otherwise tio officer scold coz already got signs around.

Coming back, queue for up to half an hour. Clear eGates, go down clear MY immigration, then the fun starts, like train to Busan coz many tend to rush to get a seat (for the FIVE mins ride). The queue waiting to board will be from 2 directions, but they'll be people just sitting around bochap just squeeze once the doors open.

Reach SG have to enter macam 🐷 communal feeding station via an eGate. After immigration clearance, out another eGate and head to the customs clearance. Then walk walk to the lao kok kok lift to get to the ground floor otherwise walk down the stairs.

Then walk to the bus stop or Grab/cab just outside.

Worth the 5 mins ride? :s34:
Will let her know, thanks bro. :LOL:

Hmm... can we track grab costs in sg?
Why monitor? Grab price surge like SG. I try using Grab app cannot see the price.
When I'm in JB, I grab everywhere. After some time, will know estimated price for certain route.

We did few train rides from KL to Ipoh, Ipoh to Butterworth liao.
Both ETS trains very shiok one.
Ah, then tell her it's not worth her time nor energy to try the JB>WDL route coz it runs parallel to the causeway and nothing new/exciting except the experience of dealing with queues, people, and clowns :grin:
