Construction of the Johor Baru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) is on track, and is expected to be complete on schedule in December 2026,
The Star reports. Ground breaking took place last November, which marked the start of construction of the RTS.
The overall progress of the project has been encouraging, with more than 70% of the design work completed and expected to be finalised in the coming months, said Mass Rapid Transit Corporation (MRT Corp) CEO Datuk Mohd Zarif Hashim.
“One of the key, or critical items for any project like this is [the matter of] land issues and land acquisition. However, we were able to settle a lot of them within a short period of time, including those for the land in Bukit Chagar,” he said, adding that these matters normally take one or two years to settle.
