KTM Train from Melaka to Singapore
Catching the train from Melaka to Singapore is not as straight forward as catching a bus, as first, you have to travel out to the train station at Tampin (Pulau Sebang) which is the nearest station to Melaka Town.
In the future, if and when the high-speed railway line gets built, it is planned to have a train station in Melaka, so you will be able to whizz between the two cities in a very short time!
But for now, you will have to get a bus out to Tampin and then catch a train heading south down to JB Sentral Station in Johor Bahru, then take a Shuttle Train from JB to Singapore's Woodlands Railway Station.
Tampin is around 38 kilometres away from Melaka and a bus ticket should cost you around 5 Ringgit.
