A new Electric Train Service linking Johor Bahru and Kuala Lumpur will soon begin operations, according to Transport Minister Anthony Loke. The official launch will be performed by His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, the King of Malaysia, in Johor Bahru. Public service will commence the following day.
Initial operations will focus on the Kuala Lumpur route. Officials plan to introduce longer journeys to destinations like Padang Besar and Butterworth in later phases. The Gemas-Johor Bahru Electrified Double Track Rail Project is nearly finished, reported Johor executive council member Mohamad Fazli Mohamad Salleh.
Upon full implementation, the schedule will feature twelve daily ETS trips. This includes eight services between Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru, with the remainder serving the northern routes.
