Johor’s Works, Transportation, Infrastructure, & Communications Committee chairman, Mohamad Fazli Mohamad Salleh, said Shuttle Tebrau trains will be used to increase frequency of travel from JB Sentral to Kempas Station. Shuttle Tebrau, operated by Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB), has been running since July 2015 & runs 31 trips daily both directions between JB Sentral<>Woodlands Train Checkpoint in Singapore. Each trip takes about five minutes. This 1.1-km KTM svc can carry up to 8,635 passengers a day, w/tickets priced at RM5 (S$1.50) from JB to SG and S$5 from SG to JB. The RTS Link, which was said to be around 50% complete in February, slated to be completed on Jan 1, 2027, will operate daily from 6 a.m. to midnight. It is designed to carry up to 10,000 passengers per hour in each direction, with a peak-hour frequency of 3.6 minutes per train...

While excitement is building among commuters for the new six-minute RTS journey, concerns remain among Johoreans about infrastructure, traffic, rising land prices, and the cost of living.
Meanwhile, in the city-state, the ministry has formed a task force to help locals and businesses seize opportunities and benefit from the upcoming RTS Link. /TISG
