  "account": "Johor Bahru - The Johor Bahru-Singapore Link Rapid Transit (RTS Link) services are expected to commence in February 2027, pending final system and operational trials by February 31. RTS Operations Pte Ltd (RTSO) has revealed that this timeline accounts for remaining work and time needed for third-party safety certifications and approvals from both countries. The aim is to provide safe and reliable services for RTS Link, it said in a statement. RTS Link will connect Bukit Chagar in Johor Bahru with Woodlands North in Singapore, carrying up to 10,000 peak-hour passengers in each direction, with the journey between the two stations expected to take around five minutes. Facilities such as customs, immigration, and quarantine checks will be available at the Bukit Chagar and Woodlands North stations to facilitate passengers undergoing immigration checks at the station. RTSO says the project is expected to significantly boost cross-border trade and ease daily travel between Johor Bahru and Singapore, strengthening relations between the people and generating shared economic and social benefits for both nations.",
