Planning to replace your bus or car crossing with the JB-SG RTS Link? Check the opening announcement separately from fare information before making travel plans.
Opening update checked 16 October 2026
The 2 October joint announcement targets passenger service in February 2027, subject to independent safety certification and regulatory approvals. This replaces the earlier end-2026 target.
Official Fare Position
The Ministry of Transport reply dated 7 April 2026 says RTS Operations Pte Ltd will set fares commercially and announce them later. That reply does not contain a fare table; it should not be used to validate a specific ticket price.
The October opening announcement does not provide fares either. Check the operator or the authorities for a published fare table before budgeting; this guide does not claim that an older parliamentary reply proves no later announcement exists.

What to Confirm Before Booking
- The confirmed service start date and operating hours for your trip
- The published adult and child fares, payment methods and booking rules
- Station access, immigration requirements and onward transport to your destination
A short train ride is only one part of a door-to-door journey. Compare the full trip, including the time to reach the station, clear immigration and travel onwards in Johor.
Planning a Crossing Before RTS Service Starts
