PETALING JAYA: MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong is proposing an RM300 monthly pass for commuters travelling daily between Johor and Singapore when the Rapid Transit Systems (RTS) link commences operations at the end of the year.
“I hope the government can consider offering a special monthly pass for those working in Singapore with a more affordable price, such as RM300 a month.
“I am confident that this will alleviate the burden of Malaysians, especially daily commuters, while facilitating travel between Johor and Singapore and tackling traffic congestion at the same time,” said Dr Wee in a Facebook post on Wednesday (Feb 25).
Dr Wee said the government should take into account the economic impact when planning a public transportation system.
Dr Wee said that is why public transport systems are subsidised or supported by the government, as it is aimed to enable a greater economic spillover.
