The status board in miniature: the countdown, the key facts, and the latest news and food teasers.
HELLO, NEIGHBOUR
Hi, I’m a Singaporean who loves Malaysia.
And I’m counting down the days until a train makes the Causeway feel like what it should have been all along — a five-minute hop between two homes.
Last verified:
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve crossed the Causeway. The 3am jams before a family wedding. The bus queues that snake out of the checkpoint on a Friday night. The first kopi on the other side that somehow makes all of it worth it. For many of us in Singapore, Malaysia isn’t really a foreign country — it’s family, supper and memory, just across a kilometre of water.
So when the RTS Link finally started looking real, I went hunting for the facts — and found them scattered everywhere. LTA PDFs here, Malaysian ministry statements there, forum rumours everywhere else. Even the opening date had two official versions: Singapore says end of 2026, Malaysia says January 2027. Nobody was keeping it all straight, dated and honest.
So I built the site I wanted to read. One place for the whole story. Every fact dated and sourced. And everything that hasn’t been officially announced clearly marked as unannounced — because on this project, what we don’t know yet matters just as much as what we do.
THE PROMISE
The single source of truth for RTS SG–JB info.
Every fact dated and sourced.
Every unknown flagged, never guessed.
Both sides of the border covered, with equal love.
HOW THIS SITE WORKS
Editorial standards
-
Dated & sourced
Every claim carries its publication date and outlet; official sources (LTA, MRT Corp, MHA, ministries) outrank media, always.
-
Unknowns are labelled
Amber badges and callouts mark anything not officially announced — fares, the opening day, e-gate rules. You’ll never read a guess dressed up as fact.
-
Both framings
When Singapore and Malaysia say different things — and they do, about the opening date — you get both versions, side by side.
-
Independent
Not affiliated with LTA, MRT Corp, RTSO, SMRT or Prasarana. No eatery pays to be listed, and the flags — lost Michelin stars, closures, quality dips — stay in.
-
Correctable
Spot an error? It gets fixed, and the fix gets dated. The “Last verified” stamp at the top of every page is a promise, not decoration.
