Rail business on track

Fast-tracked: Last month saw the groundbreaking ceremony for the 600km East Coast Rail Link, a train service designed to shorten the journey to Pahang, Terengganu and Kelantan.

IF the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) has to describe this year in just a few words, then 2017 is surely the year of rail.

In December 2016, the Government launched the first phase of the Sungai Buloh-Kajang (SBK) MRT line. And in July, its second phase or full opening of the 51km line began.
