Workation in Johor Bahru: the essentials
Singapore is right there across the water, and the Johor-Singapore Causeway is among the busiest land border crossings in the world, which defines life in Johor Bahru. With about 860,000 people in the city proper it is Malaysia's largest state capital and a major business centre at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, with Senai International Airport about 30 km out. Malls, food courts and new residential towers set the tone more than old streets do, and coworking is easy to find. Commuter queues at the border are a daily fact of life, and the RTS Link rail line is meant to ease them.
