First train for JB-Singapore Rapid Transit System unveiled; service to start by December 2026
[SINGAPORE] The first train for the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link was unveiled on Monday (Jun 30), with the cross-border rail system currently estimated to be about 56 per cent complete. The 4-kilometre light rail system will move passengers between Woodlands North Station in Singapore and Bukit Chagar Station in JB. It is expected to begin passenger service by December 2026. It will have eight trains manufactured by China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation Zhuzhou Locomotive. The first train, delivered to Singapore in April, was unveiled in a joint ceremony between Singapore and Malaysia's transport ministries at the Singapore Rail Test Centre in Tuas. Rail link operator RTS Operations (RTSO) will carry out offsite systems integration testing on the first train at SRTC over the next few months. This includes integrating the train with the signalling system, platform screen doors and onboard communications system. RTSO is a joint venture between Singapore transport operator SMRT and Malaysian public transport firm Prasarana.
