JOHOR BAHRU: From later this month, Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link trains will start test runs on tracks in Johor Bahru as part of the project’s first phase of testing slightly more than a year before its scheduled completion.
Speaking at a press conference on Monday (Nov 3), Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke said that the trains will arrive in Johor Bahru in mid-November and the testing will commence between “mid-November and December”.
The RTS-Link trains are manufactured by China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation, and each train will have a standing capacity of 607 passengers, and can carry up to about 1,000 passengers at peak hours.
