According to the news of the rail transit exhibition, Johor plans to build an elevated smart rail train and a new Johor subway at the same time to alleviate traffic pressure.
The Johor state government plans to build an elevated smart rail train system in Johor Bahru to cope with the surge in traffic caused by the upcoming Johor MRT and strive to put the two major rail transit projects into operation at the same time.Speaking at a public event in Johor Bahru on March 13, Johor state executive councillor Lee Ting Han said that after the opening of the Johor MRT, about 20,000 people are expected to flock to Johor Bahru every day to take public transport, and in order to avoid traffic congestion, the state government hopes that the elevated smart rail train will operate at the same time as the Johor MRT to achieve efficient flow of people.
Lee Tinghan pointed out that the Johor state government has conducted in-depth discussions on the route planning, operating system and operation mode of the elevated smart rail train, and the relevant planning is now at a mature stage. It is expected that this month or the next, the state government will formally solicit development proposals from the private sector to facilitate the implementation of the project.He stressed that the project is open to all interested companies to participate in the bidding, and the government expects to be able to select the most efficient construction and operation plan through open competition.According to previous reports, Malaysia's Transport Minister Loke Siew Hock submitted a proposal to the cabinet in December last year to build an elevated smart rail train in Johor Bahru to alleviate the traffic pressure caused by the opening of the Johor subway.Lee further pointed out that the traffic congestion in Johor Bahru is serious and has had a great impact on people's daily lives, and the construction of the elevated smart rail train is not only an important transportation facility, but also an important measure to improve the urban environment and improve the efficiency of public transport in Johor.The Johor state government said it will fully cooperate with the Ministry of Transport and relevant units to accelerate the elevated smart rail train project to ensure that it is put into operation simultaneously with the Johor Metro to provide more efficient and convenient transportation services for the people.Rail Transit Exhibition Booth Reservation
