The RTS Link is a 4 km rail link between Bukit Chagar in Johor Bahru and Woodlands North in Singapore, with border clearance for both countries done at the station you leave from. It is in its final stage before opening. Skyline One Sentosa is about 4.4 km from Bukit Chagar station by road.
Crossing, in four steps.
- Arrive: go to Bukit Chagar station in Johor Bahru.
- Clear the border: Malaysian and Singapore immigration, both done at the station you leave from.
- Ride: the train crosses the Strait of Johor.
- Step out: leave the train at Woodlands North station in Singapore.
Living on this side
The crossing becomes a train ride, not a queue. Work in Singapore during the week, and come home to the streets and lights you know.
Other ways across
Besides the RTS Link, there is the Causeway (the CIQ at JB Sentral, Johor Bahru) and the Second Link.
