JOHOR BARU: Iskandar Regional Development Authority (Irda) is looking at Brisbane’s bus rapid transit model as an example for the development of the RM2.56bil Iskandar Malaysia Bus Rapid Transit (IMBRT) system.

Irda chief executive officer Datuk Ismail Ibrahim said based on the feasibility study, the Australian city’s BRT was the most suitable model to be implemented in Iskandar Malaysia.
