Woodlands MRT station

Woodlands station in detail
Woodlands is the commercial heart of the north and one of the busier interchanges on the network, where the North South Line meets the Thomson-East Coast Line. It is also the closest MRT station to the Woodlands Checkpoint, the land crossing into Johor Bahru, though the checkpoint itself is a bus ride away rather than a walk. Causeway Point, one of the larger suburban malls in Singapore, links straight into the station concourse, and Republic Polytechnic is about ten minutes on foot via Exit C. The area functions as Woodlands Regional Centre, with the town council, library and civic offices all within a short walk, and it is often the changeover point for anyone commuting between Johor Bahru and the city centre.
Changing lines here is free. You stay inside the paid area and the fare is worked out once, from the distance of your whole journey.

Facilities at Woodlands
If you are heading across the Causeway, take a bus rather than a taxi at peak hours — the checkpoint queues back up onto the roads leading to it, and bus lanes generally move faster than general traffic during the morning and evening rush.
