HSR and Singapore Johor MRT

Most of the people are looking forward to see this materialise. I personally feel with the abundant LCC available nowadays, rail infrastructure is a good alternative for the people staying in the north and west of Singapore. However, I think both HSR and MRT will only be completed between 2021 to 2025 at the earliest. By then hopefully the causeway will be less congested, maybe an extension of the ciq at the current woodland centre will increase the capacity of the first link and also perhaps the third bridge to pasir gudang will be built. This will coincide with the shifting of keppel and pasir panjang port to tuas that will open up a big area for redevelopment together with the old ktmb station at tanjung pagar after 2025.

After 2027, brani + keppel + tanjong pagar port area will be relocated. Pasir panjang port could at least operate until 2035.
