The RTS shuttle service will run between the Singapore terminus at Woodlands North station and the Malaysia terminus at Bukit Chagar station in Johor Bahru. 

The Woodlands North station – which is being constructed at a maximum depth of 28m – will be connected via an underground linkway to the immigration area. On the Malaysia side, the immigration facilities will also be located at Bukit Chagar station.

This means passengers only need to clear immigration authorities once – at their point of departure. Currently, passengers need to clear immigration on arrival as well. 

The Woodlands North station and CIQ (customs, immigration and quarantine) building, a three-storey structure with two basement levels, will be 10 times the size of a typical MRT station, LTA said.

The CIQ building is designed to BCA’s Green Mark Platinum Certification, with energy-saving equipment incorporated into its design and operations. These include features such as LED lighting, solar panels and a hybrid cooling system.

Both the station and CIQ building will be connected to the Thomson-East Coast Line Woodlands North MRT station via an underground concourse.
