Overview
Taking a taxi from Singapore to JB is perfect for those seeking convenience and comfort without worrying about schedules or crowded spaces.
While private taxis are pricier than public licensed taxis, the extra comfort may be worth it and justifies the cost for some. However, the choice of taxi depends on your needs, budget and travel companions – let’s explore the differences to help you decide!
1. Cross-Border Singapore To JB Price
These types of taxis are generally 4-seaters that can accommodate solo travellers or groups of up to 4 people.
