Johor Bahru Sentral (also known as JB Sentral) is a Malaysian inter-city railway station located between Jalan Tun Abdul Razak and Jalan Jim Quee in the heart of Johor Bahru, Malaysia. Inaugurated on 21 October 2010, it replaced the closed Johor Bahru railway station located 200m south of it. As part of the Southern Integrated Gateway, it is connected to both the Sultan Iskandar Customs, Immigration and Quarantine Complex and City Square shopping center by pedestrian overhead bridges.
There are seven trains daily passing through Johor Bahru Sentral in each direction. Southbound trains originating from various places in Malaysia (Butterworth, Gemas, Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lipis or Tumpat) have Johor Bahru Sentral as the penultimate stop before terminating at Woodlands Train Checkpoint in Singapore. Northbound trains originating from Woodlands Train Checkpoint have Johor Bahru Sentral as the second stop before continuing towards the various destinations in Malaysia.
Johor Bahru Sentral serves as the Malaysian immigration checkpoint for southbound rail passengers towards Woodlands. Northbound rail passengers from Woodlands are processed by Malaysian immigration and customs officers at Woodlands Train Checkpoint prior to boarding.
Johor Bahru Sentral is planned to be main hub for rail transportation in Johor Bahru. It is proposed to be the main station of JB Metro, Komuter Sud (Southern Commuter Rail System in Johor Bahru) and the future Rapid Transit System link between Johor Bahru and Woodlands, Singapore.
