The Rapid Transit System Link (RTS Link) project is set to transform Johor, establishing the state as a major economic hub once it begins operation in 2027.
Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong announced that the RTS Link will be completed by December 31, 2026, and officially launched on January 1, 2027. The project is expected to ease long-standing congestion at the Causeway, one of the busiest international crossings in the world. Designed to carry up to 10,000 passengers in each direction daily between Johor Baru and Singapore, the RTS Link will alleviate traffic bottlenecks that have long affected commuters.
Dr Wee, the Member of Parliament for Ayer Hitam, highlighted that the new system would streamline immigration procedures by consolidating checks into a single, efficient process. This change promises a smoother and faster travel experience for both Malaysians and Singaporeans.
He also praised Johor’s Mentri Besar, Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi, for his proactive efforts in addressing Causeway congestion.
