A transport expert questions the suitability of the system for Johor Bahru whereas an economist and a business association see benefits.
Transport expert Rosli Khan says Johor Bahru may not have sufficient demand to justify the high cost of having an LRT system.
“The LRT is expensive to build, rather rigid in its alignment, has a fixed service route and requires support for the first and last mile. As it is often elevated, passenger access is poor. “The ART can cater for 200 to 300 people per vehicle per direction. If it runs every five minutes, then 12 trips an hour. Therefore, capacity is about 2,400 to 3,600 people per hour. Suitable for Johor Bahru,” he said.
Noorazam said there was an urgent need to improve public transportation to support the RTS link, which is expected to move around 10,000 users per hour in each direction. “So there needs to be an emphasis on early investment in Singapore-styled public transport system,” he said. SME Association of Johor Selatan founding president Teh Kee Sin said an LRT system should have been an integral part of the Iskandar Malaysia masterplan introduced in 2007.
