The RTS is a 4 km shuttle system between Johor Bahru in Malaysia and Woodlands in Singapore. Conceived in 2010 and announced in 2011, the RTS serves as a convenient and cost-effective shuttle system integrated with both public transport systems on both sides of the border.
The first phase of the RTS project was a joint engineering study that was conducted by a consortium consisting of Aecom Perunding Sdn. Bhd., Aecom Singapore Pte. Ltd. and SA Architects Sdn. Bhd., and was completed in 2013. Phase Two of the project began at the end of 2014

The project facility will be part of a transit-oriented development with an adjoining transport hub and mixed property development, he added.
"The RTS Link project is a rail project which is fast and efficient, to facilitate more convenient travel between Singapore and Malaysia, especially for the comfort of Johor residents. It will connect the Bukit Chagar station, which is located next to the JB Sentral station, to the Woodlands North station in Singapore 4km away," said Mohd Zarif.
