Frequently Asked Questions

What is RTSLink.sg?

RTSLink.sg is a dedicated utility tool designed to help commuters check real-time crowd conditions at the Singapore (Woodlands North) RTS station. We utilize live data estimates to help you plan your border crossing efficiently.

When will the RTS Link open?

The RTS Link is scheduled to commence passenger service by the end of 2026. Construction is currently ongoing and on schedule on both the Singapore and Malaysia sides.

How long is the journey?

The train ride itself takes approximately 6 minutes between Woodlands North and Bukit Chagar stations, crossing the Straits of Johor via a dedicated 25-meter high bridge.

What are the operating hours & frequency?

Service will run daily from 6:00 AM to 12:00 AM (midnight). Trains will arrive every 3.6 minutes during peak hours and every 6 minutes during off-peak times.

Do I need a passport to use the RTS Link?

Yes. Even though the journey is short, you are crossing an international border. You must possess a valid passport (with at least 6 months validity) or the relevant travel documents to clear immigration.

How does the "Single Clearance" Immigration work?

The RTS Link features a co-located CIQ (Customs, Immigration, and Quarantine) system. This means you clear both Singapore and Malaysia immigration at your point of departure.

For example, if you are departing from Woodlands North, you will clear Singapore exit and Malaysia entry before boarding the train. Upon arrival in Johor Bahru, you simply walk off—no further checks required.

Will the KTM Shuttle Tebrau still run?

Under current bilateral agreements between Singapore and Malaysia, the KTM Shuttle Tebrau is expected to cease operations six months after the RTS Link begins passenger service. The RTS Link is intended to replace the shuttle as the primary rail connection.

Where is the Woodlands North Station located?

The station is located underground at 1 Woodlands North Coast Road. It is directly connected to the Woodlands North MRT station (TE1) on the Thomson-East Coast Line via an underground concourse.

Where is the Bukit Chagar Station located?

The Johor Bahru terminus is located at Bukit Chagar, situated right next to JB Sentral. It will be connected to the existing CIQ complex and the future Iskandar Rapid Transit system.

Is there parking at the RTS stations?

At Woodlands North: Parking is extremely limited. Commuters are strongly advised to use public transport (MRT/Bus).
At Bukit Chagar: There will be a dedicated multi-storey Park 'n Ride facility with significantly more parking capacity for commuters driving from within Johor.
