The Malayan Railway train shuttle which stops at the doorstep of Danga City Mall may be convenient for shoppers looking to avoid jams and immigration queues, but the awkward schedule is leaving some feeling rattled.

There are nine daily trips to and from the mall - five departing from Tanjong Pagar station here and four returning - which start from 5.35am and end at 10pm with irregular intervals in between. The trip costs S$3 from Singapore and RM3 (S$1.25) from Johor Baru.

The biggest gap is between the second train which leaves here at 7.40am and the third which departs at 2pm.


SHUTTLE SCHEDULE

From Singapore: 5.35am, 7.40am, 2pm, 7.10pm, 10pm

From Danga City Mall: 5.10am, 9.37am, 2.19pm and 6.50pm

Note: The 6.50pm train has an additional one-hour stopover at the Johor central station before its journey back to Singapore.
