KULAI: Caretaker Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi has urged Putrajaya to speed up implementation of the Elevated Autonomous Rapid Transit (E-ART) project.
He said it is the key long-term solution to easing traffic congestion in Johor Baru once the Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link begins operations.
He said the short- and medium-term measures being undertaken, including expanding park and ride facilities, implementing smart traffic management systems and reorganising the movement of buses, taxis and e-hailing vehicles at JB Sentral, were only temporary solutions.
“These measures are necessary because the main project capable of dispersing traffic from the RTS has yet to begin.
“Therefore, there is one project that we must continue to focus on and expedite, namely the E-ART project,” he said during the launch of the Southern Shuttle train service operations at Kulai Railway Station here on Tuesday (June 16).
Also present was Transport Minister Anthony Loke.
