JOHOR BARU (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - Johor can expect a further boost to its economy by the next five years with the completion of the Johor Baru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link which will take commuters only five minutes to reach the island Republic, said Johor s ruler Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar.
Sultan Ibrahim said he had been informed that the RTS Link was expected to carry up to 300,000 passengers a day. It will dramatically put Johor as a strategic link to Singapore on another level. Travelling between Johor and Singapore will become much easier and faster. I am looking forward to the RTS, he said in an interview in conjunction with Chinese New Year.
