Boh Tong, my favorite blogger asked me to write about getting to Malacca. There are a couple of options. Driving up is one option many Singaporeans chose. It is convenient and very low cost. It has the most flexibility as you can go at any time and leave at any time. Best of all you can drive around for sightseeing.
Another option is taxi. The cost of taxi is S$160 to S$180 and you can only board in Queens Street. The taxi will go via causeway which is perpetually in traffic jam. Last option which my family took is by bus. Even bus there are several options. One leave from Queens Street and I understand there is a regular scheduled hourly departure bus at Lavender Street. Bus 707 cost S$45 for two way and can drop off and pick at the Equatorial Hotel or Holiday Inn.
Regular scheduled bus leave from Melaka Sentral to Singapore 3 times per day and cost RM22 per head.
We took the bus option as we do not want to take the risks as travelling on the highways in Johore has plenty of hazards. It is more relaxing to sit back and let someone else drive. However, it is frustrating as the driver may detour as in our case so that he can have a free lunch at the rest stop. A four hour trip became six hours.
