The Rapid Transit System Link (RTS Link) is supposed to retire Keretapi Tanah Melayu‘s (KTM) Shuttle Tebrau service, and Malaysia wants the latter to continue running for a certain period after the RTS Link starts operations in 2027, according to a Bernama report.
“Although Malaysia hopes that this service can be maintained temporarily, this requires Singapore’s approval,” transport minister Anthony Loke said.
“If we follow the agreement, we must acknowledge and accept that the bilateral agreement for the RTS Link also requires the KTM Shuttle Tebrau to be terminated six months after the RTS Link is operational,” he added. He also said that the request has been raised with the Singaporean government but no decision has yet been received.
