Forest City is the Country Garden development on the south-west tip of Johor, sitting just across the Tuas Second Link from Singapore. It’s been one of the more talked-about cross-border destinations of the last decade — four reclaimed-island phases, the Marina Hotel and the Phoenix Hotel, two championship golf courses (Legacy by Liang Guoji and Classic by Jack Nicklaus), the Forest City Beach Club, the Indoor Beach Pool, and a steady traffic of Singapore property owners, weekend golfers and family-day visitors.

The official Forest City Shuttle Bus runs a fixed daily schedule between selected Singapore points and the development. It’s useful if your timing fits, but it’s not flexible: pickup is from designated stops rather than your home, the timetable is fixed, and you can’t deviate the route to drop someone at the Marina Hotel and others at the golf course. A private chauffeur fills that gap — door-to-door, on your timing, one vehicle for the whole group.

TL;DR — Singapore to Forest City in 4 lines
Distance: 30–45 min via the Tuas Second Link, plus border clearance.
The draw: Marina Hotel, Phoenix Hotel, Legacy and Classic golf courses, Beach Club and Indoor Beach Pool, property visits across the four phases.
Our price: flat fare from any Singapore address, all tolls included — same tier as our published SG↔JB rates. WhatsApp us for our best price.
Best for: golf weekenders, property owners visiting their unit, families heading to the Beach Club, and anyone whose timing doesn’t fit the Forest City Shuttle Bus schedule.

How far is Forest City from Singapore?

Forest City sits on reclaimed islands on the south-west coast of Johor, so the natural crossing is the Tuas Second Link rather than the Woodlands Causeway. From most parts of Singapore the drive is roughly 30 to 45 minutes · +clearance — the border time depends on the day and the queue, which is why we don’t publish a bare drive number for cross-border routes. From western Singapore (Jurong, Tuas, Boon Lay) it’s at the lower end; from the east (Changi, Tampines, Pasir Ris) closer to an hour with the cross-island drive included. Plan a buffer either side. Once through the Second Link it’s a short run along the coastal road to the Forest City Marina entrance.

Forest City vs the Forest City Shuttle Bus

Both are valid — they just suit different days. Here’s the honest comparison.

	Forest City Shuttle Bus	Private chauffeur (us)
Pickup	Fixed Singapore stops (Jurong East and a small set of others)	Any Singapore address — your home, your hotel, Changi arrivals
Timing	Scheduled departures, you fit the bus	You set the time; we work to it
Stops at Forest City	The bus’s drop-off points	Drop the family at the Marina Hotel, then the golfers at the course, all on one trip
Luggage and golf bags	Limited bus storage	MPV or 13-seater Hiace with full boot space
Group size	Per-seat pricing	One flat fare for the whole car
Best for	Solo or pair, on the timetable, light luggage	Families, golfers with bags, anyone off-schedule, multi-stop days

If the shuttle works for your timing and group size, take it. If not, the private chauffeur saves you the timetable + transfer headache.

What to do at Forest City

The development is large enough that “going to Forest City” can mean very different things. Tell us which of these is the day, and we’ll drop you at the right entrance.

Highlight	What it is
Forest City Marina Hotel	The main waterfront hotel — staycation rooms, conference space and the marina-side restaurants. Common drop-off for family weekends.
Forest City Phoenix Hotel	The second hotel in the development — slightly more inland, larger rooms, popular for family multi-night stays.
Forest City Golf Resort	Two 18-hole championship courses — Legacy (Liang Guoji) and Classic (Jack Nicklaus). Singapore golf weekenders are the heaviest user of this route. See our golf chauffeur page for course-day framing.
Forest City Beach Club & Indoor Beach Pool	The beach club along the reclaimed shore plus the indoor wave-pool complex — popular for family day-trips with kids.
Phase 1–4 residential	The four phases of residential towers. Property owners visiting their unit, prospective buyers visiting the showroom, or family/friends staying overnight at someone’s flat.
Country Garden Mall and F&B	The retail and dining strip at the development centre — supermarkets, cafés, and the Country Garden showroom.

How a Forest City transfer is priced

Forest City sits inside our cross-border flat-fare zone with Tuas Second Link as the entry — same tier as SG↔JB. Vehicle, driver, fuel, Causeway or Second Link clearance and all tolls are included in the flat fare. Round-trip is priced as two one-ways, with day-rate available if you want the same driver waiting at the hotel or golf course rather than running a return separately.

Published from-fares start at SGD 150 on a Standard MPV, with Luxury MPV and 13-seater Hiace stepping up from there — the full matrix sits on our pricing page. WhatsApp us your pickup address and group size for the exact number, and we’ll come back within the hour with our best rate.

Which vehicle for Forest City?

For a couple visiting the Marina Hotel, a Standard Car or Standard MPV is the right pick. For a family with kids heading to the Beach Club, a Standard MPV or Luxury MPV handles the strollers and beach bags comfortably. For a golf weekend with bags for 4, a Luxury MPV or 13-seater Hiace gives the boot space — golf bags are bulky. Larger groups (a club outing, a wedding-guest run, a family multi-generational visit) go on a 13-seater Hiace or 24-seater coach. Browse capacities on our fleet and we’ll match the right vehicle to your group when you message us.

Forest City vs a regular cross-border taxi

If you only need a one-way drop-off — a single ride into Forest City, no waiting, no return — that’s a straightforward fixed fare on the same logic as our cross-border taxi to JB. We dispatch the same vehicle tier; the only difference is the route runs to Forest City rather than central JB.

Forest City sits inside the broader Iskandar Puteri district — if your day includes Puteri Harbour or Medini Mall alongside Forest City, the Iskandar Puteri page covers the multi-stop framing across the wider district.

The Jumppy way

We’re a cross-border chauffeur booking platform — you WhatsApp us your Singapore pickup, your Forest City entrance (Marina Hotel, golf course, a specific phase tower) and the rest of the day, and we dispatch a vetted JCTransport vehicle. Door-to-door, all tolls included, the same driver if you want a return wait. Message us for our best rate and we’ll sort the rest.

FAQ

How long does it take to get from Singapore to Forest City?

30 to 45 minutes drive via the Tuas Second Link from western Singapore, plus border clearance on top. From the east side of Singapore add another 15–20 minutes for the cross-island leg. We don’t quote a bare drive time because clearance varies day to day — plan with a buffer either side, especially on Saturday mornings and Sunday evenings.

How much does it cost to get to Forest City from Singapore?

Forest City sits inside our SG↔JB flat-fare zone via the Tuas Second Link. Published from-fares start at SGD 150 on a Standard MPV, with MPV / Luxury MPV / 13-seater Hiace stepping up from there. All tolls and clearance are baked into the flat fare — no top-ups at the checkpoint. WhatsApp us your pickup address and group size for the exact quote.

Should we take the Forest City Shuttle Bus instead?

It depends on your day. The official shuttle bus runs a fixed schedule from a small set of Singapore pickup points and serves the development at set times — useful if your timing fits and you’re travelling solo or as a pair with light luggage. A private chauffeur makes more sense if you have golf bags, a young family with a stroller, multiple stops at Forest City (Marina Hotel + golf course + Beach Club), or if your timing doesn’t line up with the shuttle’s schedule.

Can the driver drop us at different entrances within Forest City?

Yes. One booking can drop the family at the Marina Hotel, the golfers at the Legacy or Classic course entrance, and the residents at their phase tower — all on the same trip. Tell us the stops at booking and we’ll plan the order through the development.

Can the driver wait while we play golf or stay at the hotel?

Yes — that’s a day-rate booking. For a half-day waiting at the hotel for a long lunch, or a full day at the golf course, we hold the same driver and vehicle and bring you home when you’re ready. WhatsApp us the rough plan and we’ll quote a flat day-rate.

Are tolls and Second Link clearance included in the Forest City fare?

Yes — all Causeway or Second Link clearance and Malaysian tolls are baked into the flat fare. You won’t be asked for top-ups during the drive or at the checkpoint.

Can you handle Forest City to Singapore — the reverse direction?

Yes. Property owners and families heading back to Singapore from Forest City use the same service shape — door-to-door from any Forest City address (Marina Hotel, Phoenix Hotel, golf resort, any phase tower) to any Singapore destination. Round-trip is priced as two one-ways; a same-day return where the driver waits is quoted as a day-rate.
