RTS Link could cut traffic at checkpoints by up to 25%: Experts
The Johor Bahru–Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) is expected to reduce traffic at the Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints by up to 25 per cent when it begins operations. While frequent commuters welcome more predictable travel times, some cross-border drivers fear a loss of business and are adjusting their services to stay competitive. Transport experts say the RTS could also reshape travel patterns, potentially drawing new users onto the Causeway while easing congestion overall. Claudia Lim reports.
