Iskandar Malaysia Bus Rapid Transit (IMBRT) planned in 2016 has been cancelled as it is unable to tackle traffic congestion issues in Johor.

State works, transportation, infrastructure and communications committee chairman Mohamad Fazli Mohamad Salleh said about 25% or 13.79km of the IMBRT route had to be shared with other vehicles on the road.
