Our Verdict
For families, groups, or anyone with luggage — the **private car** is the clear winner. SGD 100 split among 4-6 people = SGD 17-25 per person, which is competitive with the train but with door-to-door convenience.
Bus is best for solo travelers on a strict budget who don't mind the immigration queues at both ends.
Train is great when you can book ahead and don't mind transferring to JB Sentral, but slots are limited.
If you value time and comfort, the answer is clear: book a Luxway Taxi for a stress-free 90-minute door-to-door experience.
