PETALING JAYA: Singapore\u2019s Land Transport Authority (LTA) posted pictures on Sept 4 of the completed Woodlands North station for the Johor Baru-Singapore RTS Link.<\/p>\n
The photographs offered a glimpse of the Singapore terminus as the cross-border rail project moves closer to passenger operations.<\/p>\n
It also shared photographs of the pick-up and drop-off point, station concourse and areas connecting commuters to the existing Woodlands North MRT station on Singapore\u2019s Thomson-East Coast Line.<\/p>\n
On the Malaysian side, Transport Minister Anthony Loke said on Aug 18 that the RTS Link and Bukit Chagar immigration complex had entered the testing and commissioning stage.<\/p>\n
He said systems integration tests, final testing and trial runs would be carried out before passenger services begin.<\/p>\n
Loke also said the exact operating date and fare would be announced jointly by Malaysia and Singapore, as the RTS Link is a bilateral project.<\/p>\n
The official opening date and fare have yet to be announced.<\/p>\n
LTA said the colours and design at the pick-up and drop-off area were inspired by trees, reflecting Woodlands\u2019 identity with nature.<\/p>\n
The Woodlands North RTS station is connected to the existing MRT station through an underground concourse and will house Customs, Immigration and Quarantine facilities.<\/p>\n
The RTS Link spans about 4km between Woodlands North and Bukit Chagar in Johor Baru.<\/p>\n
It is designed to carry up to 10,000 passengers per hour in each direction, with the train journey between the two stations expected to take about five to six minutes.<\/p>\n
A key feature of the service is its co-located immigration facilities.<\/p>\n
Passengers will clear both Malaysian and Singapore immigration at their point of departure, allowing them to leave the station upon reaching the other country without undergoing another immigration check.<\/p>\n
