Perkhidmatan penumpang RTS Link dijangka bermula Februari 2027

Johor Bahru - The passenger service for the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit (RTS) Link is expected to commence in February 2027, according to RTS Operations Pte Ltd (RTSO). RTSO stated that the service's target completion date of February 2027 takes into account remaining works and time needed for third-party safety inspections and approval from relevant authorities in both countries.

The aim is to provide safe and reliable transportation for the RTS Link, a crucial project connecting Bukit Chagar in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, with Woodlands North in Singapore. The service will have a peak capacity of 10,000 passengers per hour in each direction, with a journey time between the two stations expected to take around five minutes.

Additional facilities such as customs, immigration, and self-quarantine at the Bukit Chagar and Woodlands North stations will also be provided, allowing passengers to undergo immigration checks at the stations themselves. RTSO believes that the project will significantly enhance cross-border connectivity and ease daily travel between Johor Bahru and Singapore, strengthening relationships between the peoples of both nations and generating social and economic benefits for both countries.
