Singapore to Malaysia by Taxi
Most Singapore Taxis are not allowed to cross the border to Malaysia and vice verse.
Only specially licensed Singapore Taxis are allowed to enter Johor, Malaysia and stop at Kotaraya Shopping Mall (near the Malaysian Customs). You will need to change to a Malaysian Taxi cab upon arriving at Kotaraya Shopping Mall.
Specially licensed Malaysian Taxis are allowed to travel any where else in Malaysia, without the need to change taxi cabs. These taxis are operated by Johor Taxi Service.
Malaysia to Singapore by Taxi
In the reverse direction towards Singapore, you can take taxis from Kotaraya Shopping Mall (near the Malaysian Customs) to any point in central Singapore ($30) or Changi Airport ($40). The main advantage here is that you don’t need to lug your stuff (or yourself) through Customs at both ends; you can just sit in the car.
