Causeway, Second Link or RTS: which way to JB for a weekend stay

By road: Woodlands or Tuas

ICA operates the land checkpoints at Woodlands and Tuas and lists traffic updates on its driving in and out of Singapore page. Check it before you leave, especially on long weekends.

You must bring your passport. ICA says so on its QR code clearance page (updated 27 Oct 2026), even when you use QR clearance.

By train: the RTS Link

The RTS Link connects Woodlands North in Singapore with Bukit Chagar in Johor Bahru. LTA describes a train journey of about five minutes between the stations, with Customs, Immigration and Quarantine facilities co-located so you clear both countries before boarding (LTA project page).

On 2 October 2026 LTA published that passenger service is now expected to start in February 2027, subject to independent safety certification and final approvals (LTA news release). Until it opens, plan on road or other existing routes.

Which house for which route

Prima in Gelang Patah, Iskandar Puteri is about 10 minutes from the Tuas Second Link on the Malaysian side (host estimate, excluding queues), so it suits groups driving in via the Second Link.

Landak Kawan Fun House in Taman Abad is about 12 minutes from the Causeway CIQ (host estimate) and a 5-minute walk from KSL City Mall, so it suits groups arriving at the Johor Bahru city side.

Not yet confirmed

We have not listed RTS fares or the door-to-door time from Bukit Chagar to either house, because we have no official figure for them. Ask us on WhatsApp if you need help planning.
