The RTS Link will connect Bukit Chagar in Johor Bahru to Woodlands North in Singapore. It is not open yet, so plan your commute with today's options and keep an eye on the official updates.
Where things stand
- The operator, RTSO, announced on 2 October 2026 that passenger service is targeted for February 2027.
- That target depends on system tests and trial runs finishing (target 31 December 2026), independent safety certification and approvals from both countries.
- The fare has not been announced. Our calculator uses S$6 per way only as a placeholder.
Do not sign a lease, buy a property or change jobs because of a specific RTS date. Check the operator's latest announcement first.
Your options today
| Option | Good for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Motorcycle | Usually fastest in peak queues | Weather and safety risk. Singapore VEP for motorcycles rises to S$7 a day from January 2027. |
| CIQ bus (SBS 160/170/170X, SMRT 950) | Cheap, about S$2–2.50 per way by card | Queues at the checkpoint in peak hours; some Causeway Link routes charge about S$5. |
| Car | Door to door | Singapore VEP for cars is S$50 a day from January 2027, plus fuel, tolls and parking. |
| RTS Link (when open) | Predictable train time across the strait | Fare not final. You still need first and last mile transport. |
What to prepare now
- Set up the MyICA app for QR clearance on the Singapore side.
- Get a ManjaLink card, or tap a card or phone on cross-border buses.
- Live within walking or short driving distance of CIQ or Bukit Chagar. The Projects page shows real walk and drive times for each project.
- When RTS opens, do a test run at your real commute hours before you decide.
The cost question
The cheapest way is often not the fastest, and the fastest is not always the cheapest. Put your own numbers into tool 4 in the calculators to compare a month of each option.
RTS Link 会连接新山的武吉查卡（Bukit Chagar）和新加坡的兀兰北（Woodlands North）。它还没开通，所以请先用现有方式规划通勤，并留意官方最新消息。
目前进度
- 营运方 RTSO 在 2026 年 10 月 2 日公布，目标 2027 年 2 月开始载客。
- 这个目标取决于系统测试和试运行完成（目标 2026 年 12 月 31 日前）、独立安全认证和两国的批准。
- 票价尚未公布。我们的计算器用每程 S$6 只是占位。
不要因为某个 RTS 日期就签租约、买房或换工作。请先看营运方最新的公告。
现在有哪些选择
| 方式 | 适合 | 注意 |
|---|---|---|
| 摩托车 | 高峰期通常最快 | 天气和安全风险。新加坡摩托 VEP 自 2027 年 1 月起涨到 S$7/天。 |
| CIQ 巴士（SBS 160/170/170X、SMRT 950） | 便宜，刷卡每程约 S$2–2.50 | 高峰期关卡排队；部分 Causeway Link 路线约 S$5。 |
| 开车 | 门到门 | 新加坡汽车 VEP 自 2027 年 1 月起 S$50/天，另加油费、过路费、停车费。 |
| RTS Link（开通后） | 跨海时间可预测 | 票价未定；两端还需要接驳交通。 |
现在可以准备什么
- 设置 MyICA App，在新加坡那边用二维码通关。
- 准备 ManjaLink 卡，或在跨境巴士上用卡/手机刷。
- 住在 CIQ 或 Bukit Chagar 步行或短车程可到的地方。楼盘页显示每个项目真实的步行和车程时间。
- RTS 开通后，先在你真实的通勤时间试跑，再做决定。
成本问题
最便宜的往往不是最快的，最快的也不一定最便宜。把你自己的数字放进计算器的工具 4，比较每种方式一个月的花费。
