Johor’s state government has proposed 12 drop-off points for Singapore cross-border taxis, Bernama reported last Saturday (March 7).
These 12 locations are Senai International Airport, JB Sentral, Medini, Southkey, Mount Austin and Eco Botanic, as well as six shopping centres including Johor Premium Outlets, according to Johor’s Works, Transportation and Infrastructure committee chairman and state executive councillor Mohamad Fazli Mohamad Salleh.
The remaining five shopping centres were not mentioned by Fazli in the interview with Bernama.
“These passenger drop-off points are locations that the state government considers to be focal points,” Fazli said.
“With regard to taxis from Singapore, it’s possible that foreign tourists who arrive at Changi Airport want to go directly to Johor by taxi,” he added.
At present, cross-border taxis from Singapore can only drop passengers off at Larkin Sentral in Johor Bahru while taxis from Malaysia can drop passengers at Ban San Street Terminal in Singapore.
Fazli also said that taxis from Malaysia may be able to drop passengers off at five locations in Singapore in the future, namely Changi Airport, Kranji, Jurong, Shenton Way and Rochor.
