KUALA LUMPUR (The Straits Times/ANN): Fares on the much-anticipated cross-border Johor Baru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) link will be affordable, as prices will be set with the low-income group and daily commuters in mind to make the project viable, said Malaysia's Transport Minister Wee Ka Siong on Thursday (July 30).

He added that ticket prices will be the same on both sides of the Causeway, factoring in conversion rates.
