The Rapid Transit System Link (RTS Link) project in Johor Baru is set to be completed by December 31, 2026. It aims to improve traffic flow and support economic growth in the area. The RTS Link will transport 10,000 passengers per trip and simplify immigration checks for travelers. This is expected to benefit local businesses, especially those near the RTS station. Additionally, the recent Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone agreement is anticipated to enhance economic opportunities. Authorities are urged to develop long-term plans for traffic management to support the RTS Link's success.
