Travel from Malaysia to Singapore will soon be possible for just\nunder Rp 100,000 per journey. The Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link, which\nwill connect Johor Bahru and Singapore, is scheduled to begin operations\nin late 2026.<\/p>\n
Fares are estimated to range between 5\u20137 Singapore dollars, or\napproximately Rp 66,000 to Rp 92,000 per one-way journey. Although not\nyet finalised, this is significantly cheaper than the cost of\ncross-border travel by private vehicle, which can reach approximately 50\nSingapore dollars or around Rp 600,000 per day.<\/p>\n
The RTS Link has been designed to reduce congestion at the border\nwhilst simultaneously improving connectivity between the two countries.\nTrains will operate at intervals as short as 3.6 minutes. Eight train\nsets will be deployed to begin service in December 2026.<\/p>\n
Each train can carry more than 600 passengers per journey, with\ncapacity reaching up to 10,000 passengers per hour per direction. Daily\noperations are scheduled from 06:00 until midnight.<\/p>\n
Despite the five-minute journey time, passengers will still be\nrequired to undergo immigration checks. Approximately 100 automated\ngates utilising AI technology will be provided to expedite the process,\nwith screening taking approximately seven seconds per person. Security\nfacilities including baggage scanning lanes and dedicated baggage-free\nlanes will also be available.<\/p>\n
With relatively affordable ticket prices and an exceptionally short\ntravel time, the RTS Link has the potential to become the preferred\noption for cross-border workers and tourists seeking convenient travel\nbetween Malaysia and Singapore.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/malaysia-to-singapore-in-just-5-minutes-fares-under-rp-100-000-1772334053", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
