Faster connection: The RTS Link will facilitate the commute between Singapore and Johor Baru, with a journey time of about five minutes between the two stations.

Johor, fuelled by unprecedented governmental focus – namely the establishment of the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) and the imminent completion of the Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link – has emerged as the undisputed top regional hotspot for transaction activity, price appreciation and investment potential heading into 2026.
