RTS to finally take shape


JOHOR BARU: After over a decade, construction of the Rapid Transit System Link (RTS) will finally begin, allowing over 200,000 commuters to travel between Singapore and Johor Baru in a day once it is completed.

Upon its completion in Dec 2026, an estimated 150,000 people, half the number of people crossing the border daily, are expected to use the system daily, said Mass Rapid Transit Corporation (MRT Corp) chief executive officer Datuk Mohd Zarif Hashim.
