I have just returned from Taiping and have been to your Tesco there I came ac ross a Lenovo Desktop with all the accessories assembled behind the monitor. It costs RM1,999 and was told by the salesgirl there that I can pay by 12 months interest free by Maybank Credit Card, Because of the distance, I decided not to buy it and was told that I can also buy it from J.B. Pl confirm I can buy it at your J.B. Br. before I drop in to buy it.

Pls take bus 9B. You need to walk from the Johor Bahru CIQ to the bus stop opposite Public Bank.

The fee is around RM$2.50/trip.

Hi Lina, you can take a cab which cost about RM$40 and takes about 40 minutes.

Alternatively, from CIQ, go to Kotaraya II terminal in Jalan Trus. From City Lounge, board the Causeway Link (white) bus service (also known as City Lounge Express) which brings you directly to Senai International Airport.

Hi Jen, there is a direct train service from JB Sentral to Danga City Mall.

Alternatively, a 10 minute cab ride can do the trip – cabs are readily available from JB Sentral.

@chloe:

thistle provides a free shuttle bus service to city square and tebrau city

the easiest way to get to thistle from singapore is to take the bus coach from marina bay sands (pricing is very reasonable). the bus will take you straight to the hotel (stopping only once at the tunes hotel in jb)and is going via tuas link. it’s usually very fast and convenient
