As RTS Link nears opening, JB faces test of making its car-dependent centre more walkable
- JOHOR BAHRU: On a typical afternoon, the streets of Johor Bahru’s central business district are a hive of activity: office workers rushing out for lunch, tourists moving between malls and, most prominently, cars and motorcycles weaving through packed streets.
- Some stretches of pedestrian walkways and bicycle lanes - part of efforts to create a more car-lite city centre - are pockmarked with potholes or obstructed by haphazardly parked vehicles.
- Elsewhere, pockets of prime land in the heart of the central business district (CBD) sit vacant and neglected, some strewn with rubbish.
