MRT Corp has set up a subsidiary, M'sia Rapid Transit System Sdn Bhd (MRTS), to be the developer & owner of the civil infrastructure for the M'sian section of the Rapid Transit System Link (RTS Link) Project Between Johor Bahru & S'pore. The company was incorporated on 5 December 2019. The RTS Link Project is a railway shuttle link approximately 4 km length with two stations, one in Bukit Chagar, Johor Bahru, M'sia & one in Woodlands, Singapore. The link will be a modern Light Rail Transit (LRT) system that will provide high volume, fast & efficient transportation system between the two stations.

The link will be integrated with public transport systems at both stations, providing an alternative means of transportation will help alleviate the congestion at immigration checkpoints for both countries. The link will have a capacity of 10,000 passengers per hour, per direction and an expected ridership of about 40,000 passengers per day upon opening.

Immigration, Custom and Quarantine (ICQ)

As an international link between M'sia & S'pore, RTS Link Project includes the building of a new Immigration, Customs & Quarantine (ICQ) facility next to the station at Bukit Chagar. Similarly, the RTS Link Station in Woodlands North in S'pore will have Customs, Immigration &  quarantine (CIQ) facilities. What is unique is M'sian ICQ & S'porean CIQ facilities will be co-located within the same building. This will allow the entire immigration process of leaving and entering both countries to be completed at the departing station.

Upon arrival, passenger will just leave the station without needing to go through border crossing formalities again. RTS Link Maintenance Depot, Wadi Hana
