The construction of the Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link between Johor Bahru and Singapore was 83 per cent done at the end of July, said Transport Minister Anthony Loke.
He said the project, set to start operations on January 1, 2027, is on track.
Taking into account the future increase in the number of RTS Link daily passengers, he said public support facilities such as adequate parking facilities should be improved, and that MRT Corp will build a new 1,500-lot multi-storey Park N’ Ride facility at Bukit Chagar for RTS Link passengers.He said this at a press conference after witnessing the parking space sale and purchase agreement signing between Malaysia Rapid Transit System Sdn Bhd and Coronade Properties Sdn Bhd here today.
Through the agreement, Coronade Properties will provide 781 additional car and motorcycle parking lots specifically for RTS Link passengers at Coronation Square, located 400m from Bukit Chagar Station.
“A pedestrian bridge connecting Coronation Square to the (Bukit Chagar customs, immigration and quarantine) complex will be built by Coronade Properties so RTS Link users can enjoy this facility in the future.
“All the facilities built to complete the RTS Link service infrastructure will be carefully designed to ensure passengers can enjoy a smooth travel experience from Malaysia to Singapore and vice versa,” he said.
