PASIR GUDANG: A new passenger train service is set to run along the Pasir Gudang–Kempas Baru corridor next year.

This comes with the recent completion of a RM55 million upgrade to the 40km rail line.

Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook said the service, which previously catered exclusively to cargo trains, was being reactivated to ease mounting congestion between Pasir Gudang and Johor Baru.
