Victor68 Turbocharged December 30, 2022 Share December 30, 2022 14 minutes ago, Atonchia said: So the expected usage is only 40k daily. Meaning it's little effect on the 350k daily crossings. Majority of 300k still on bikes and cars. Probably the RTS is to supplement the crossings to be 400k daily😅. Frankly, the high speed train is only good for KL and further. JB no need speed just ensure causeway no jam. If 300k daily commute here to work with proper work pass, then why still need to stamp passport leh? Random check for illegal stuff good enough mah. Hope that day will come. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSR is more for middle mgmt, PMET level workers to shuttle between two major cities, maybe more for weekend shuttle for Malaysian working here then back KL to family vice versa. Johor LRT probably meant for students and blue collar workers daily commute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueray Hypersonic January 17, 2023 Author Share January 17, 2023 JB-Singapore RTS Link project on track to start operations by end-2026 Quote Last December, Malaysia’s Mass Rapid Transit Corp chief executive Mohd Zarif Hashim told local media the project was not affected by the change in government after the 2022 general election, and that construction was progressing on schedule. "This project is a commitment from the government, as a country, we have to do it. The project is also halfway through with all the land already purchased,” he was quoted in The Star newspaper. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/asia/jb-singapore-rts-link-project-track-start-operations-end-2026-3209646 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it the highway or road that is causing the jam? It was the number of counters and people (rather the type of people) manning the counters lah 😆 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
