The Johor Bahru–Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link is an upcoming 4 km (2.5 mi) long, twin-track rapid transit system crossing the Strait of Johor between Malaysia and Singapore. It will link Johor Bahru, Malaysia, at Bukit Chagar station, with the Singapore MRT at Woodlands North station in Woodlands. Operations are targeted to "commence from January 2027". It is expected that to serve 40,000 passengers daily when it is launched, with the long-term plans being for it to service about 140,000 daily.

To provide a seamless pre-boarding clearance, both of the line's stations will house customs, immigration and quarantine (CIQ) facilities for both countries, which will be independent from the existing CIQs at the Sultan Iskandar Building and Woodlands Checkpoint.

When completed, the RTS Link will replace the KTM Shuttle Tebrau service between JB Sentral and Woodlands Train Checkpoint stations by June 2027.
