Causeway Link Airport Express Bus AA1 from JB Sentral to Senai Airport

The Causeway Link AA1 Airport Shuttle Bus is an airport express bus from JB Sentral in downtown Johor Bahru to Senai International Airport. While previously operating a somewhat frequent service during most times of the day, there are currently just 5 return trips a day now departing every 2 hours. Nevertheless, the timing of the noon departure worked out for me, so I secured my ticket early on Easybook just in case tickets get sold out.

Conclusion

If the bus schedule fits you, the Causeway Link AA1 Airport Shuttle Bus is an affordable and quick way to travel from JB Sentral to Senai Airport with no intermediate stops. I do hope that the schedule gets beefed u soon as with only 5 departures a day in each direction, there’s not much flexibility, and a night time return from Senai Airport to JB is currently not possible.
