SINGAPORE and Malaysia are exploring the use of two different services on the cross-border high-speed rail (HSR) network between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, said a ChannelNewsAsia report (CNA) on Monday.
Citing a response from Singapore's Ministry of Transport, CNA reported that Singapore and Malaysia were still in discussions on the HSR project's commercial and operating models. "Singapore has proposed that the transit service, which will stop at several stations in Malaysia and hence primarily serve commuters travelling within Malaysia, be operated separately from the express non-stop HSR service," CNA quoted an MOT spokesman as saying. "This will give Malaysia autonomy over the transit service to serve Malaysia's domestic needs, while both countries work together on the cross-border HSR services."
