Johor Bahru is a fast-growing city located at the southernmost of Peninsular Malaysia that connects you to the neighbouring country Singapore. Previously, the city was known as Iskandar Puteri when it was founded in 1855 before becoming Johor Bahru in 1862, but it only received city status in 1994 after the Malaysia formation in 1963. Affectionately known as JB, this city is radically becoming quite a city on its own with the current developments and makeover including the recreational park of Danga Bay to international theme park Legoland. This creates many opportunities for travellers to visit and one of the main point is at the Larkin Sentral Bus Terminal in Larkin Jaya located 5km away from the JB city centre and the Singapore causeway. Instead of braving the traffic to get to counters for your bus ticket, we have made it possible for you book them through Easybook website through a few simple steps.
