Which means sufficient time for planning to make it an economical trip ;p
INITIAL PLAN:-
Stay in TUNE HOTEL, Danga Bay then take the Odyssey bus from the hotel to Sentosa Island.
For Odyssey timetable and terms and conditions, click the link below:-
http://www.tunehotels.com/webres/gb/shuttle-odyssey.html
Basically it's 3 trips per day (7am, 830am and 1030am)
Return from Sentosa (630pm, 930pm and 1030pm)
They estimate the journey to take approximately 1hour15min.
After working out the costs, it came to:-
Tune Hotel 2 nites + 24 hour air con RM180
Odyssey Bus RM25 x 2 person (if walk in purchase then RM30 x 2)
Petrol & Toll to JB estimate RM100 x 2 way
Finally decided to ditch the idea cos it seems a bit tiring to travel into and out of Singapore on the same day, not to mention have to send the car for servicing before long journey = Berhati-hati di Jalanraya
Later I found another cheaper way to get into Sentosa Island. Only S$5 for hourly bus from Sin - JB Kotaraya.

| This is the bus I travelled in - Super cool with massage chair and entertainment |
 |
| Timetable for shuttle bus from JB to Resort World Sentosa (RWS) |
FINAL PLAN:-
Was fortunate to come across a booth marketing JoyRider coach from KL to Sentosa Island at only RM36 return but it was for same day travel. However just add RM5 for every extension up to MAX of 3 days meaning:-
RM36 - same day travel
RM41 - return on 2nd day
RM46 - return on 3rd day
Daily Pick up at 720am (Leisure Mall Cheras) arrive at 12pm (Sentosa)
Daily Depart from Sentosa at 620pm arrive at 11pm (Leisure Mall)
But for both ways, there were delay. So dont expect exact time.

With this info, I then decided to stay at my aunt's house in Bedok, Singapore since she's agreeable to my boyfriend staying over as well!!
Otherwise there are other accommodations available in Singapore but for cheap ones, it has to be backpackers inn and the 88 chain hotels.
Hihi,
ReplyDeleteAbout the last photo taken in bus, is that the bus for joy rider?
This is Transtar.. do you have experience taking the JoyRider? Is it the same kind of bus?
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't have experience taking JoyRider. So, I am wondering how's the bus condition.
ReplyDeleteFrom tune hotel, how u go to kotarsya and take Transtar bus to rwsentosa?
ReplyDeleteFrom tune hotel skudai, there's direct Odyssey bus to RWS.
ReplyDeleteBecause this Joyrider is direct bus from KL to RWS. No stopover in Johor etc.
I want to take Transtar to RW Sentosa because tambang is rm5/way
ReplyDeleteOdessey is two way and rm30 . too expensive.
Yup transtar dari Johor cheaper but kalau dah stay at Tune Hotel Danga Bay then Odyssey is more convenient cos direct to hotel at night.
ReplyDeleteGreat, actually i'm looking for bus form kl to singapore. I think JoyRider is suitable as your suggestion in the article. TQ
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment, but best to give them a call to see if the ride is still available.
ReplyDeleteI called them sometime in June 2013 and they only do Joyrider bundled with Universal Studio tickets. And it's one day trip.
Nonetheless no harm giving them a call to check what's the latest promotion.
Buses are great transport in any city. However, knowing the routes can be daunting.
