EDIT: WEF December 2025, the Electric Train Service (ETS) will be extended to JB Sentral, located in the heart of Johor Bahru City Centre. Currently, it takes 11 hours to get to Kuala Lumpur from Singapore by train, with transfers required at JB Sentral then to Gemas. With the ETS extension to JB Sentral and then the RTS link to Singapore's Woodlands North, one can expect to take around 5 hours to travel to KL Sentral from Singapore. Provided if the border procedures and waiting or transfer times are short enough.
