JOHOR BARU: The construction of the RM10bil Rapid Transit System Link between Malaysia and Singapore is expected to begin in early 2021, some 11 years after the idea was first announced by leaders from both countries. On the proposed fare, both Prasarana Malaysia Bhd and SMRT Corporation Ltd, he said, would come out with a fee structure. “We will have to consider the B40 group and those who commute to Singapore on a daily basis to make this project viable.”The two governments earlier announced that the RTS Link project had officially resumed after several hiccups. They are the agreement to amend the RTS Link Bilateral Agreement, and a Joint Venture Agreement between Singapore SMRT RTS Pte Ltd and Malaysia’s Prasarana RTS Operations Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prasarana Malaysia Bhd, to constitute RTS Operations Pte Ltd. “When completed, the RTS Link will ease Causeway congestion, improve connectivity, foster people-to-people ties and generate shared economic and social benefits, ” it said.
