Three trains, one Causeway, here’s what’s actually worth knowing about getting to JB by rail in 2026.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sat in Causeway traffic for two hours on a Saturday morning? The train is the way out. The KTM Shuttle Tebrau<\/strong> crosses from Woodlands to JB Sentral in 5 minutes<\/strong>, costs less than a kopi, and runs 31 times a day. In 2026, it’s no longer the only option: KTMB’s new JB\u2194KL ETS<\/strong> opens up rail travel deeper into Malaysia, and the long-awaited RTS Link<\/strong> from Woodlands North to Bukit Chagar opens in January 2027<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The KTM Shuttle Tebrau is the only direct train between Singapore and JB Sentral. A one-way ticket costs S$5<\/strong> from Singapore or 5 MYR (~S$1.51)<\/strong> from JB, the ride takes 5 minutes<\/strong>, and there are 31 daily services<\/strong> total (13 SG \u2192 JB, 18 JB \u2192 SG). The RTS Link will launch in January 2027 as a faster, more frequent alternative, with a fare expected between S$5 and S$7<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
