Racing against time to stop JB city centre ‘choking in traffic’

Easing the flow: Once completed, the RTS Link that connects Johor Baru with Singapore is expected to exacerbate traffic conditions in the city centre.

JOHOR BARU: Johor is racing to come up with feasible ways to address the heavier traffic volume expected here when the Rapid Transit System Link (RTS Link) starts operating in about three years, says state executive councillor Lee Ting Han.

The Johor investment, trade, consumer affairs and human resources committee chairman said that the elevated Autonomous Rapid Transit (ART) system was one such measure.
