JOHOR BARU: The Johor Baru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link passenger service has been delayed to February, with final systems tests and trial runs expected to be completed by the end of this year.
Singapore's RTS Operations Pte Ltd (RTSO), the train service operator, said the revised timeline remained subject to independent safety certification and final regulatory approvals from Malaysia and Singapore.
In a statement yesterday, RTSO said it expected to complete all systems tests and trial runs by Dec 31, followed by safety certification by an independent safety assessor.
"Taking into account the expected duration of works and the estimated duration required for safety certification from a third party and approval by both Grantors, passenger service is expected to begin in February 2027.
