RTS Link’s Bukit Chagar station to connect directly to KTM trains, buses and taxis: Malaysia Transport Minister
A proposed public train-bus hybrid system to absorb an expected increase in commuters will however not be ready by Jan 2027, with Malaysia’s Transport Minister Anthony Loke saying that the government is still working out details.
The Malaysian Transport Minister, Anthony Loke, announced that the Bukit Chagar RTS station will be directly connected to KTM trains, buses, and taxis. This new connection will provide easier access for passengers to various forms of public transport in Johor Bahru. The proposed train-bus hybrid system to accommodate an expected increase in commuters will not be operational by January 2027, as the government is still finalizing the details.
The new pedestrian bridge, equipped with travelators, is designed to accommodate thousands of people at a time and will shorten the walking distance for KTM passengers. The connection to the KTM station will also provide access to bus services at a designated roundabout and a taxi bay. The cost of constructing the new KTM link is estimated at RM60 million (US$14.8 million) and will take about 12 months to complete.
The integration of the RTS Link with multiple modes of public transport aims to effectively manage traffic dispersal in Johor Bahru.
