JB-Singapore RTS Link service start pushed back to February 2027

The commencement of passenger service on the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link has been postponed to February 2027, as announced by the governments of Malaysia and Singapore.

The delay from the initial January target is due to the need for RTS Operations Pte Ltd (RTSO) to achieve independent safety certification and secure final regulatory approvals.

Infrastructure works in both nations are reportedly nearing completion, with remaining testing and commissioning projected to conclude by December 31, 2026.

Authorities are collaboratively working with RTSO to ensure the project's smooth and safe delivery.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 2 — Passenger service on the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link is now expected to begin in February 2027, the Malaysian and Singaporean governments said today.

In a joint statement, the Land Transport Authority of Singapore (Singapore Grantor) and the Ministry of Transport Malaysia (Malaysia Grantor) said they had been informed by RTS Operations Pte Ltd (RTSO) of the revised timeline.

The service was previously expected to commence in January. The new target is subject to RTSO obtaining independent safety certification for the RTS Link and securing final regulatory approvals.

The grantors said infrastructure works in both countries are substantially complete and on track to support passenger service once the remaining testing and commissioning activities are satisfactorily completed.

“More time is needed for the remaining activities prior to service commencement,” the statement said.

RTSO expects to complete its final system tests and trial runs by Dec 31, 2026. It will then need safety certification from an independent safety assessor.

Authorities from both countries must review the certification and be satisfied with it before they grant approval to begin passenger operations.

The grantors said they will continue working with RTSO to facilitate the “smooth and safe” delivery of the project.

马来西亚和新加坡政府宣布，柔佛新山-新加坡快速交通系统（RTS）连接线的客运服务开通时间将推迟至2027年2月。

比原定的 1 月份目标有所延迟，原因是 RTS Operations Pte Ltd (RTSO) 需要获得独立的安全认证和最终的监管批准。

据报道，两国的基础设施建设工程已接近尾声，剩余的测试和调试工作预计将于 2026 年 12 月 31 日完成。

当局正与RTSO通力合作，以确保项目顺利、安全地交付。

吉隆坡，10 月 2 日讯——马来西亚和新加坡政府今天表示，柔佛新山-新加坡捷运系统 (RTS) 连接线的客运服务预计将于 2027 年 2 月开始。

新加坡陆路交通管理局（新加坡授予机构）和马来西亚交通部（马来西亚授予机构）在一份联合声明中表示，他们已收到 RTS Operations Pte Ltd（RTSO）关于修订时间表的通知。

该服务原计划于1月份开通。新的目标日期取决于RTSO能否获得RTS Link的独立安全认证以及最终的监管批准。

资助方表示，两国的基础设施建设已基本完成，一旦剩余的测试和调试工作顺利完成，即可支持客运服务。

声明称：“在服务开始之前，还需要更多时间来完成剩余的各项工作。”

RTSO预计将于2026年12月31日完成最终系统测试和试运行。之后，它还需要获得独立安全评估机构的安全认证。

两国当局必须审查认证文件并对其感到满意后，才能批准开始客运业务。

资助方表示，他们将继续与 RTSO 合作，以促进项目的“顺利和安全”交付。
