- Note: It is possible but more expensive to use the EZ-link card compared to paying in cash in Malaysian ringgit when boarding SBS 170 (red plate) at Larkin bus terminal/Johor Bahru CIQ to go anywhere in Singapore. The percentage price difference becomes greater the further you go into Singapore. For example, it costs S$1.90 using the Ez-link card to go from Larkin bus terminal to Queen Street terminal by SBS 170. This is slightly more than 100% more expensive than by paying in cash (2.20RM), based on current exchange rates (S$1 = 2.45 RM). It is also cheaper to pay in ringgit, based on current exchange rates (S$1 = 2.45 RM), (2 RM versus S$1) when traveling from the Woodlands Checkpoint to the Johor Bahru CIQ by the Singapore-Johore Express bus. Conversely, it can be cheaper using the EZ-link card for both the bus and MRT train if one has the intention to connect to the MRT train at Kranji, Marsiling or Woodlands MRT stations, due to Singapore's newly launched Distance Fare. For example, it will cost S$0.50 or S$0.70 more after currency conversion if one were to take the CW1 or SBS 170 from Larkin to Kranji MRT station and pay by cash in ringgit (RM 1.40 or 1.90), and then use the Ez-link card for the MRT train ride to City Hall MRT.

- All buses make one stop each at Singapore's and Malaysia's immigration checkpoints, giving you the opportunity to board a different bus.
