In short, the RTS Link is a joint project between Singapore’s Land Transport Authority (LTA) and Malaysia’s Mass Rapid Transit Corporation (MRT Corp), officially signed off in 2020. It’s a 4km train line designed to make our Causeway crossings less of a headache.

Once it’s up and running, you’ll be able to zip from the RTS Link Woodlands North Station in SG to Bukit Chagar RTS Station in JB.

The trains are estimated to carry up to 10,000 passengers per hour in each direction, with 4-car trains travelling at speeds of up to 80km/h.
