Causeway Link CW7 links CIQ Second Link in Johor with Tuas Link MRT Station in Singapore, via the Tuas Second Link and an intermediate stop at Tuas Checkpoint for customs clearance.
The terminating stop at Singapore, located at Tuas Link MRT, is the third Singapore destination for Causeway Link services via the Tuas Second Link, after Jurong East and Boon Lay. Passengers can transfer to the East West Line for other parts of Singapore, or other bus services serving the Tuas industrial area.
The route complements existing Causeway Link bus services CW3, CW4, CW4S and CW6 across the Tuas Second Link.
Historical Information
Service CW7 was launched on 1 December 2018. The terminating stop at Singapore, located at Tuas Link MRT Station, is the third Singapore destination for Causeway Link services via the Tuas Second Link, after Jurong East and Boon Lay. The new dropoff point is in closer proximity to the Tuas industrial area and benefits people commuting to and from work in the area.
At the time of introduction on 1 Dec 2018, Service CW7 operated between Mall Of Medini ↔ Tuas Link, with its Mall of Medini ↔ CIQ Second Link sector a duplicate of Service CW7L that was introduced in 2016. Despite Tuas Link MRT being in close proximity to Tuas Checkpoint and existing Causeway Link services already serving the Tuas Second Link corridor, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) prohibited commuters from accessing Tuas Checkpoint on foot.
Prior to the introduction of CW7, bus connections between Tuas Link and Tuas Checkpoint / Gelang Patah were served only infrequently by Bus Service TS6.
In addition, commuters from Singapore can rely on Service CW7L for easy access to attractions in Iskandar Puteri, such as LEGOLAND Malaysia Resort, Mall of Medini, CI Medini and Hotel Ramada. Transferring to other bus services at CIQ Second Link, other destinations like Sanrio Hello Kitty Town & Thomas Town, Johor Premium Outlets, Senai International Airport, Giant Nusa Bestari, AEON Bukit Indah and Sutera Mall are within easy reach.
Post-pandemic resumption of Service from 1 May 2022
Between 18 March 2020 and 30 April 2022, Causeway Link CW7 suspended operations amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
When services resumed on 1 May 2022, Service CW7 was also formally shortened to CIQ 2nd Link ↔ Tuas Link. Further bus connections on the Johor side were offered by Service CW4G to Gelang Patah. Service CW7L, only resumed on 1 January 2023.
