  its ILLEGAL for cabbies to quote a price as theres hefty penalties. Nonetheless, there was cases of cabbies having a quote price to some Hong Kong tourists some months back. was $30 from Orchard to Marina i think; at midnight.
  
  at JB, Cabbies quote inflated prices to Singaporeans. If you are a malaysian, then probably the meter will be used.

  Well what are the immigration formalties for taxi passengers at the checkpoints?
  
  And usually which route would these taxis take between Singapore and Johor Bahru?
  
  Finally, how long is a SG-JB taxi trip?

  same as cars. Cabby hand over his passport, and his passengers. Same procedures as private cars. no need to alight though
  
  those yellow taxis.. Queen Street - Bt Timah - Stevens - BKE (same as SJE), usually. as stated, fare would be $40
