Went over to JB again today, but this time we took a different route. Normally we would go by the causeway at Woodlands, which is infamous for long long queues and traffic jams. This time, we took bus CW3 from Jurong East bus interchange. The bus goes to JB via 2nd link, which is at the western end of Singapore island. 2nd link, although it has been there for many years, the usage remains low due to its high costs. For example, to go to Bukit Indah in JB via 2nd link costs S$4.00! But the advantage is that you have almost no traffic jam (under normal situations), no queue at all the immigration, so everything goes like a breeze.
After the bus gets into Malaysia, it has a number of stops. Bukit Indah is one of the major stops, and you will not miss it with its giant Jusco sign.
The Jusco building is actually a 3-story shopping mall, with Jusco as its anchor tenant. There are many restaurants and various shops available in the mall too. Nearby, you have Tesco and Giant hypermarts. The bad thing is that there is no cinema in Jusco, too bad. You can't have all your entertainment here under one roof.
The mall is not crowded at all. You can wander around at your own pace. When you are tired, you can sit down for a hearty meal, or just sip a cup of coffee while letting your tired feet have some rest.
The return bus fair from Bukit Indah to Jurong East is RM5.00, a 50% discount. So overall transportation cost is not that bad.
However, be warned there isn't much around Bukit Indah Jusco, so if you find yourself can't really kill your time there, you can only choose to go to downtown JB, or take the CW3 bus home.
Anyway, it is good to know another place we can hang around :)
