Rail potential for ecotourism corridor in Selangor 


THE upcoming Johor Baru–Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link is rightly celebrated as a game changer for cross-border transit. However, its true value lies in how seamlessly it integrates with Malaysia’s broader rail infrastructure.

By pairing the RTS Link with Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad’s (KTMB) Electric Train Service (ETS), Malaysia has a timely opportunity to create a direct rail-to-ecotourism corridor from Singapore into the heart of Selangor’s northern nature belt.
