Ahmad Nizam highlighted that the new JB ETS access will significantly benefit both commuters and tourists. This is especially true with the year-end and school holiday seasons approaching.
The upgraded connectivity is expected to:
- Draw more visitors to Johor, including those coming from Singapore
- Support the state’s growing tourism and retail sectors
- Provide Johor residents with smoother connections to destinations outside the state
- Enhance domestic mobility and spur business activities in both directions
Johor Bahru’s popularity among Singaporeans for dining, shopping, and weekend getaways is rising. The new JB ETS extension, therefore, offers another convenient way to travel deeper into Malaysia.
The new JB ETS route is perfect whether you’re planning a Kuala Lumpur getaway, visiting family up north, or curious to try Malaysia’s intercity rail experience. This development effectively brings even more travel possibilities right to Singapore’s doorstep.
