Johor’s BRT will combine the speed and reliability of the LRT with the affordability of a conventional bus system.
Construction is expected to begin in the first quarter of next year, with the BRT service targeted to start in the first quarter of 2022, the paper said, quoting Iskandar Malaysia Bus Rapid Transit director Rudyanto Azhar. There will be 39 stations along the 51km-long trunk lines, including stops at Larkin, Bukit Chagar near the Causeway and Medini near the Tuas Second Link.
The report quoted Rudyanto as saying the project cost will be financed by the government, which will contribute RM1 billion, and the private sector, and is “a fraction of the cost” of building an LRT. The revamped bus network will cover 90% of Iskandar Malaysia, up from the current 39%, Rudyanto said.
