Johor Baru is so much more than a mere transit stop

The Johor Baru-Singapore Rapid Transit System Link is on track to be completed by the end of 2026. — THOMAS YONG/The Star

I AM writing to express my excitement about the developments surrounding the Johor Baru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link. The rail line is a game-changer that will further accelerate the economic development of Johor Baru and the Iskandar Malaysia region.

The RTS Link will be a rapid, efficient, and affordable crossborder rail link between Johor Baru and Singapore City. It will reduce travel time between the two cities to just five minutes, making it easier for businesses to operate in both countries and for people to commute for work, education, and leisure.
