Preview of the Johor Bahru - Singapore Rapid Transit System (

Join us on a virtual tour of the Johor Bahru - Singapore Rapid Transit System (#RTS) Link terminus at Woodlands North station, which is slated to open in end-2026! 🚆
Note: Video is for illustration purposes only.
#DidYouKnow The RTS Link is a 4km rail shuttle service that connects the Singapore terminus at Woodlands North station and the Malaysia terminus at Bukit Chagar station in Johor Bahru? With a capacity of up to 10,000 passengers per hour in each direction, you can soon #SayHello to fast and seamless travels between Singapore 🇸🇬 and Johor Bahru 🇲🇾.
When open, passengers will only need to clear the immigration authorities once at their point of departure with the Customs, Immigration, and Quarantine (CIQ) facilities of Singapore and Malaysia co-located at Woodlands North and Bukit Chagar stations. 🤩

Actually what we need is very simple, single efficient checkpoint that integrate both Singapore and Malaysia immigration and a proper covered walk path.

[@jarrenloke2120]

RTS service is designed with integrated CIQ which require passengers to only clear immigration once at the point of departure. This is why there is no CIQ at the arrival hall. CIQ facilities can never be simple because its more than just stamping and scanning passports.

[@marktan8074]

Hv you ever noticed how reckless the Msian immigrations officers are with regards to their own citizens? You just wave your Msian passports at them and your are good to go. Unless there is some form of bionetrics employed, I dont trust such immigration officers to do their tasks.

[@rujhannalsor3638]

We could imitate europe country system border

[@edwinang3724]

but even with the slow buses between the two checkpoints, the checkpoints can alr hardly handle the traffic during peak season. also need faster clearance at the checkpoints to prevent bottlenecks.

[@jameslim3850]

If voters in Malaysia were not emotional and fall for the lies from Pakatan Harapan in GE2018 by voting a stable & progressive BN govt, the RTS would have been a MRT train (not LRT) to JB and will be ready by now. Now the damage is done and it is a downgraded to LRT level and project delays.

[@AimlessSky]

Ultimately it depends on how fast it takes to clear both CIQs. If the clearance is slow, it doesn't matter how much capacity the trains can carry as it will only cause long queues to form at the CIQs and end up having to temporary suspend the service.

[@jarrenloke2120]

The greatest challenge for the RTS may not be the CIQ. Getting to and out of Bukit Chagar stations will be a major challenge due to congestion. Even without RTS, the road around BC stations is already very congested.

[@bhcf2m]

I think they have already thought about it in the design. Passengers will clear both country immigration at the departure station before boarding the train. Right after they alight the train, they will step right into the public area without the need to go through another immigration again. They can already just leave the station. So it will not happen that long queue of people stuck at arrival hall immigration.

[@AimlessSky]

@@bhcf2m It may still happen. Most passengers will need to clear both immigration before the next train arrives, as that is what determines whether queues will form at the CIQs. Its not just the capacity, but the efficiency and speed of clearance if they are aiming at a 10,000pph per direction of passenger load.

[@bhcf2m]

@@AimlessSky The passengers don't necessarily need to clear immigration before the next train. Their ticket doesn't restrict them to taking a specific timed train. They can just take the next train that arrives after they clear immigration. If the immigration is slow, the current train will just simply depart with less passengers. The passengers can see the immigration hall before they enter. If the queue is really long, this design allows them to just wait around in the nearby shopping mall first and come back later.

[@AimlessSky]

@@bhcf2mYour talking about the departure load which will never be a problem, the issue usually lies with arrival passenger load. Its direct from platform to CIQ clearance. The clearance for the arrival passengers either way in Woodlands North and Bukit Chagar need to work similarly efficient for the arrival load to be cleared fast. The system caters for 10,000pph per direction, if it doesn't at least achieve this, it just simply means a failure in design.

[@marcseah7022]

More Singaporeans will move to JB once this train is completed by end 2026. Imagine u can take this train all the way to Marine Parade and Bedok in an hour without having to change train. Also wont have to worry about traffic jams and delays on the causeway. This RTS could be a game changer.

[@aehighfmcolinchin]

Easy for us to hangout at JB too

All thanks to the hard work behind the curtains of governments of both SG and MY, a project sure to be very beneficial, especially to the people

@@SSxxx18 If you wish to compare rail reliability it's better to quantify the subject by measuring the frequency of breakdowns over distance travelled. The term "Prolong" here doesnt mean anything unless you can put them down in numbers.

[@AbdulKareemAbdulRahman]

[@brutaltruth7197]

make it beautiful like grand central stations around the world have it’s own charm to it.. not just another typical MRT station or Immigration building

[@seigyo_zoufukuki]

About time to proceed with this project and finally put an end to the stone age in which the transportation between JB and SG is entombed.

[@muhammadfirdaus634]

So excited for this project. This is a game changer for both Singaporeans and Malaysians. U can seamlessly travel to JB and likewise from JB to SG effortlessly. If only the trains can go further aside from just central JB, i think it’ll even be much better and we can rely less on cars and buses on the causeway.

[@deranjang9935]

indeed..... wonder what is the progress of ART project under johor ? seem so quite after launching

[@lentoslin360]

When comes to Singapore deigned, it’s definitely friendly and cosy.

[@matthewtan869]

disagree, both KL and SG have similar levels of service, kvmrt and sgmrt are comparable, I stay in both cities and I'm jst tryna be fair

[@jarrenloke2120]

The PH government's insistence on using narrower Malaysia LRT rolling stock instead of the wider TEL MRT train and Woodland's depot may become the weak link of the entire project. Another concern is the traffic and accessibility around the Bukit Chagar area which will make worse by Malaysia decision to build an LRT depot right in the heart JB city. Personally I feel that is a bad decision without long term planning for Johore's future infrastructure development.

[@ryanlee9295]

As a PH supporter, I can say this is one of the worst decision PH gov made when it comes to public transportation. I wish Malaysia could stop making public transportation political, instead it should be a human right for Malaysians.

[@aehighfmcolinchin]

I also find this a wrong decision to downgrade the train into an LRT.

[@azmiabdulsamad]

Pls write in to MB Johor or Tengku Mahkota. Hopefully they can still upgrade it back to MRT

[@azmiabdulsamad]

Also hopefully they can bring forward the launching date to end 2024 or mid 2025 instead of end 2026

[@aehighfmcolinchin]

Kinda feel politics have to be removed from this.

[@lanarey917]

This is for Singaporeans who want to go to Malaysia! 🇸🇬🇲🇾

[@mikey3672]

I think it will be a game changer for Malaysians looking for a job in Singapore.

You can show this diagram all you like. If we all Singapore side cannot translate our efficiency into CIQ, all this is empty and meaningless. As a person who cross the custom once a month for my regular shopping, who's side jam I am dammm aware.

I like to warn all Malaysia commuters. Don't try to smuggle drugs into Singapore by taking MRT and thinking it is an easy task. No one is watching. Then one is dead wrong! I guaranteed when one is caught he or she won't get to see the daylight anymore. Also someone planted the drugs into my bag or you tell the CIA I'm born with low mentality. Try harder! Mark my word. Many are going to get caught. Is just a matter of time. Obey all countries law and travel safely. Gd day!
