JOHOR BARU : The Cabinet has approved the RM10bil Elevated Autonomous Rapid Transit project to ease traffic congestion in Johor Baru , says Anthony Loke . The Transport Minister said the federal government needed time to deliberate on the project, as it involves a substantial sum.
“Some have said we are slow, but of course, we need time to review it. The amount involved is not small,” he said at the Pakatan Harapan Convention here on Sunday .
Loke said that while waiting for the project to be implemented, plans are in place to prepare for the traffic congestion expected once the Rapid Transit System Link begins operations next year.https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2026/05/15/expedite-e-art-system-for-jb-dont-wait-for-city-to-be-paralysed-says-dr-wee Previously, Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi said the delayed rollout of the proposed E-ART system could worsen traffic congestion in Johor Baru. He said the project, proposed almost two years ago to help disperse traffic, has yet to show progress despite rising concerns over traffic flow.
Slated to commence in January 2027, the RTS Link will have the capacity to transport up to 10,000 passengers per hour in each direction, linking Bukit Chagar in Johor and Woodlands North in Singapore in approximately five minutes.
