4. THE 4KM LINK WILL CROSS THE STRAITS OF JOHOR VIA A 25M-HIGH BRIDGE
The tracks will cross the Strait of Johor in a straight line rather than curving over water, taking into account the Johor Sultan’s earlier reservations about the project. It will make a bend over land in Malaysia instead.
5. FARES WILL BE SET BY JOINT VENTURE COMPANY
Fares will be set by the joint venture company between SMRT and Prasarana Malaysia. It will not be regulated by the two governments.
6. THE END OF KTM SHUTTLE TRAIN
Within six months after the link starts operations, the Keretapi Tanah Melayu Tebrau (KTM) Shuttle will cease.
