“We need multiple transportation options. We are also working with Handal Indah to ensure a seamless connection for Johoreans,” he said in a press conference after the inaugural ceremony of the first cross-border electric bus here on Tuesday (April 16).
Onn Hafiz said this was one of the steps the state government was taking to address congestion issues in Johor, especially after the Rapid Transit Link (RTS) between Johor Baru and Singapore had been completed.
“This morning, I also monitored congestion around Jalan Skudai, Perling and Pasir Gudang interchange.
“We need to look into ways to ease congestion in Johor to ensure the comfort of Johoreans,” he said.
