KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 9 — Johor’s proposed Light Rail Transit (LRT) project will have at least three lines with their respective terminal stations to be located at Ikea Tebrau, at the Iskandar Puteri area (at either Legoland or Forest City), and at Senai, a report has said.

In the report released on Sunday, local news outlet Oriental Daily cited a source as saying that the entire Johor LRT project is estimated to cost RM20 billion with a total length of 30km and with 50 LRT stations.

According to Oriental Daily, the source said that the Johor LRT will complement the Johor Baru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) rail service which is expected to be completed in 2026.

The source also reportedly said both the LRT and the RTS would form a one-hour metropolitan area in the Johor Baru area and enable those in Johor and Singapore to enjoy a more convenient and fast public transport system while also changing the way they travel.

Johor state government has made a preliminary decision on the location for the transportation hub — linking the Johor LRT and RTS — which is expected to be at the Taman Tasik and Danga Bay area.

According to the news report, the first phase of the Johor LRT project would involve the construction of a 10km track linking the LRT’s transportation hub with the RTS’s Bukit Chagar station.
