Bukit Chagar station is a rapid transit interchange station on the upcoming Johor Bahru–Singapore RTS, situated in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. The station derives its name from the nearby Bukit Chagar neighbourhood, located to its south. It is one of only two stations along the RTS Link, the counterpart being Woodlands North station in Singapore.
Expected to commence operations in December 2026, Bukit Chagar station will mark a significant milestone as the first rapid transit station within the state of Johor and the first outside the Klang Valley.[1] In tandem with its inauguration, an autonomous rail rapid transit (ART) system is also planned to be integrated with the station, enhancing last-mile connectivity within Johor Bahru's urban transport infrastructure.[2]
The station serves various commercial and retail developments of the area, including Johor Bahru City Square and Komtar JBCC. It will be connected to JB Sentral via a 400m long walkway, providing access to the KTM Intercity and KTM ETS train services. The Kempas Baru–Pasir Gudang line on the KTM West Coast line, which is currently a cargo-only line, will also open for passenger service in 2026.[3]
