Every morning and evening (in pre-COVID times, of course), traffic in Woodlands swells as crowds hop across the Causeway to Malaysia. Many of these people are Malaysians working in Singapore, or Singaporeans who visit Malaysia for tasty food or cheaper groceries.
If you make frequent trips to JB, you may be excited about the upcoming Johor Bahru-Singapore RTS Link Station. You may even be thinking of moving nearby!
Johor Bahru-Singapore RTS Link Station
Woodlands North MRT Station has been chosen as the site of the Singapore terminus of the upcoming Johor-Singapore Rapid Transit System.
The RTS will make it possible to transition from the MRT to a rail system linking Singapore to Johor Bahru, terminating at Bukit Chagar RTS station not far from the Causeway.
With the RTS link station slated to open in 2026, living in Woodlands could become a more attractive prospect. Not only will the RTS offer a faster and more convenient way to get to JB, it could also ease road traffic at the checkpoints as more people opt to make the journey by train.
Besides its proximity to Malaysia, Woodlands also has the advantage of being one of the more affordable neighbourhoods to buy property in.
Although the area was previously served only the North South Line on the MRT network, the opening of the Thomson-East Coast Line and its new stations Woodlands North and Woodlands South has boosted connectivity to the area. These stations will eventually connect directly to Orchard and Marina Bay MRT stations.
