‘Cargo train track can serve public transport network’

PASIR Gudang’s cargo train service has the potential to be turned into a passenger train service that can complete the city’s public transportation network.

Pasir Gudang mayor Datuk Asman Shah Abd Rahman said the track was currently underutilised as it was only used twice a day to transfer cargo from Pasir Gudang Industrial Area to Tanjung Pelepas Port (PTP) in Iskandar Puteri.

Asman Shah says MBPG has included in the city’s Local Plan 2030 the idea to utilise the cargo train track for passenger rail service.
