In The Train...Again

Had been travelling by the train from Malaysia to Singapore few times, and found it very convenient. And today, again i travelled to Singopore, and this time will be staying there for one month ( as mentioned in the previous post ).

Well, the train services linking Singapore and Malaysia ( as well as Thailand ) is provided by KTM ( Keretapi Tanah Melayu ). The train itself is very comfortable, they have seats as well as sleepers which is very nice. There are different classes for one to choose, depends on how much one will want to spend.The tickets are cheap,which is only RM 38 (lower berth)/RM43 (upper berth) for sleepers to travel from Malaysia to Singapore. And, they have a canteen as well,in the train to provide food for passengers who get hungry. However, the food sold there are pretty expensive. Other bad part about the train is that, they are not really punctual due to lots of unknown factors. So,it's not advisable to travel at last minute if one goes by train,you might end up being late for as long as 2 hours.

The train from Kuala Lumpur ( Malaysia ) departed in KL Central and arrived in Tanjung Pagar (Singapore). There are few trains running everyday - morning,afternoon and night. The journey takes about 10 hours. Before reaching Singapore, the train will stop at Johor Bahru ( Malaysia ) station, and there will be immigration checking by the officers inside the train itself where they will get in and ask for passports. After that, the train will cross the bridge linkings Malaysia and Singapore and arrive at Woodlands ( Singapore ) , where the passengers are required to get down the train for immigration process again by the Singapore government. After passing all those, passengers can choose to get back to the train and travel for about 45 minutes before reaching Tanjung Pagar ; or one can choose not to get back to the train but to the exit of the hall, and arrived in Woodlands.

And, that's about the train i always travel with .
