Johor Bahru Has Bus Pass For Tourists And Travelers

I arrived at Kuala Lumpur Central on the ETS at 1.20 am and while waiting for dawn, just hang out at the McDonalds with other travelers.

When dawn strikes, I walk to the Brickfields Monorail station to ride the monorail to Hang Tuah station before a short walk to Swiss Garden Hotel & Residencies along Jalan Bukit Bintang. Its seem to turn out into just an informal morning walk for exercise walking up the slope and then down pulling my wheeled backpack. It was a trip  with other Media representative and Bloggers to attend the lauching of the Travel Bus Pass operated by Handal Indah Sdn. Bhd. that runs the Causewaylink fleet of buses.

Breakfast was served for us at Flavors Restaurant of Swiss Gardens Hotel & Residencies.

Our FAM Trip group will be travelling to Johor Bahru on an an air-conditioned Coach that operates between Bukit Bintang and Legoland Malaysia to ferry visitors and tourist to the many attractions and parks around Johor Bahru. 


This is the coach that ply between Bukit Bintang (departing Swiss Gardens Hotel & Residencies) and Legoland Malaysia (stops at Medini Mall). Departure from Bukit Bintang is at 7.00 am and return from Legoland (Medini Mall) at 6.30 pm. The journey takes about 4 to 5 hours depending on the traffic situation along North South Highway (PLUS)

Johor Bahru city can boast of having many International status family park and activity parks.

Legoland is the first Family theme park in Asia and sixth in the world. Besides Legoland there is the Sanrio Hello Kitty, Thomas Town and Angry Bird Adventure Park.

At Mount Austin new township there's also the Austin Water and Adventure Park, and I had visited on another FAM Trip earlier.

We disembark at Puteri Harbour for Media registration at Sanrio Hello Kitty and for lunch.
 We were taken for a familiarisation walkabout around Hello Kitty and Thomas Town before downgrading our ages to experience the activities at the Wishful Studio, and show our artistic talents. Tadaa....... my work.........
