Will the RTS Actually Fix the Causeway Jam? I Did the Math

The RTS Link opens in 5 months. I pulled Malaysia's official traffic data, the fare numbers and the wage data to answer the question that split my comment section: will this S$3 billion train actually fix the Causeway jam? The short answer: it was never designed to do what most people think — and one number buried in the vehicle statistics explains everything. ⏱ CHAPTERS 0:00 The one number 0:52 Construction update — July 2026, 5 months out 1:52 The three questions from your comments 2:26 Q1: Can 10,000/hour dent the world's busiest crossing? 6:06 Q2: Is S$5–7 a trip worth it for daily commuters? 9:21 Q3: The last mile — Bukit Chagar and JB's roads 13:23 The verdict: three conditions 🗳 VOTE IN THE COMMENTS TEAM YES or TEAM NO — will the RTS cut the Causeway jam by 2028? WORTH IT or TOO MUCH — would you switch at S$5 a trip? READY or CHAOS — will JB's last mile be sorted by January 1st? 📊 Key numbers in this video: ~350,000 daily Causeway crossings · 89,818 vehicle trips/day (MOT Malaysia) · 3,531 buses carrying ~141,000 people · RTS target: 140,000/day · fare guidance RM15.50–21.70 (≈S$5–7) · E-ART: RM10b approved, years away Sources: LTA, ICA, Ministry of Transport Malaysia, Malaysia Home Ministry, The Star, Malay Mail, Bernama.
