\nThe implementation of the RTS is expected to help reduce congestion at the causeway.
\nThe RM4 billion (S$1.34 billion) Rapid Transit System (RTS) connecting Singapore with Johor Bahru is more viable and practical than the High Speed Rail (HSR) that is estimated to cost RM110 billion (S$37 billion), reported The Star.
\n\u201cWe need the RTS more than the Singapore-Kuala Lumpur HSR that has been axed,\u201d said Johor Indian Business Organisation president P. Sivakumar.

\nHe is also urging the authorities to expedite the implementation of the RTS as it is anticipated to help reduce congestion at the causeway and the second link, as well as reduce pollution levels.
\nOn 1 June, Malaysia\u2019s Transport Minister Anthony Loke announced that the new government will not cancel the RTS.
\nHowever, they will delay the signing of the joint venture agreement between Singapore\u2019s SMRT Corp and Malaysia\u2019s Prasarana Bhd until the project\u2019s feasibility study is submitted to the Cabinet for approval.
