We can use bus to go to Singapore from Johor, but it took some time and heard that when there's traffic, will take almost 3 hours.
So we decided to go by komuter train, which only took 5 minutes.
First, we go to JB Sentral. JB Sentral is where Johor Imigration Check-point located. Either you go by bus or train, or walk, this is where you depart.
The taxi from Hallmark Regency Hotel to JB Sentral is MYR 15, and only took 15 minutes. From taxi drop, go upstair by elevator, and turn right.
Once enter the building, you will see the komuter train locket. Buy the ticket in there.
It cost MYR 5 (IDR 16.500) from Johor Bahru to Woodland Singapore, and it cost SGD 5 (IDR 49.000) from Woodland Singapore to Johor Bahru. But, if you buy round-way in Johor Bahru, it will cost MYR 10 (IDR 33.000) and if you buy round-way from Singapore, it will cost SGD 10 (IDR 98.000).
*exchange rate update at journey time
You can count which one is cheaper.
We buy round-way from Johor Bahru, and it cost MYR 10 (IDR 33.000).
Then, we go to the oposite of locket. There's two waiting room, don't make mistake because one of them is for bus.

Then we go to the platform, and get in the train. You can sit wherever you want.
Not much people ride the train because most of people who travelling has a car, or maybe they go by tour group.
It's common train, some of the seat has already broken.
After 5 minutes, we arrive at Singapore Woodland Check-point. We go to Imigration check. They have a strict rule in here, so you can't bring wine, cigarette, and other things that prohibited, or you will get to pay.
Even they ask us, what's our purpose to come to Singapore, and where do we stay. How long will we stay. And had we ever visited Singapore before.
After passed the imigration, we arrive at outside.

Then we walk around Bugis. We go to Bugis Market, and buy some souvenir.
Then we go to Singapore centre to enjoy the landscape.

It's cheap because they didn't use plate, they use take away method. So they don't have to clean the plate. And we have to throw the trash ourselves.
Then we go ride bus to Woodland Checkpoint and waiting for train departure.
Remember, we can't exchange our ticket to another date. We have to wait for 1.5 hour, but it's okay because it's cheaper.
This time, we passed Singapore imigration, and then go to Johor Bahru imigration first, then go ride the train.
Arrive at Johor Bahru, we go back to hotel by taxi.
After rest for a while, we decided to visit the food court behind the hotel.
We buy 9pcs Pork Satay and 1pcs Lamb Satay. The pork satay is really delicious. 1pcs for 1 RM.
Then we go to sleep. Today is the last day of our trip.
