👉 Woodlands, Singapore in the context of Johor Bahru–Singapore Rapid Transit System

The Johor Bahru–Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link is an upcoming 4 km (2.5 mi) long, twin-track rapid transit system crossing the Strait of Johor between Malaysia and Singapore. It will link Johor Bahru, Malaysia, at Bukit Chagar station, with the Singapore MRT at Woodlands North station in Woodlands. The line is planned to open in December 2026.

To provide a seamless pre-boarding clearance, both of the line's stations will house customs, immigration and quarantine (CIQ) facilities for both countries, which will be independent from the existing CIQs at the Sultan Iskandar Building and Woodlands Checkpoint.

Woodlands, Singapore in the context of Johor-Singapore Causeway

The Johor–Singapore Causeway is a 1.056-kilometre (0.66 mi) causeway across the Straits of Johor. The Causeway links Johor Bahru in Malaysia to Woodlands in Singapore. It is one of the busiest border crossings in the world, with 350,000 road and rail travellers daily. The under construction Johor Bahru–Singapore Rapid Transit System is expected to relieve The Causeway's traveller numbers by 35% upon opening, currently scheduled for December 2026. The Causeway also serves as a water pipeline between the two countries.

The Causeway officially opened in 1923. Its construction interrupted the water flow through the Straits of Johor, especially after the post World War II permanent closure of the lock channel. Retreating Allied forces blew up The Causeway in two places in World War II. That forced the advancing Imperial Japanese Army to instead cross the Straits elsewhere.
