The transport ministry has said that plans to set up bus services between Yong Peng, Batu Pahat and Singapore are in the works to address the needs of locals here. Speaking to The Star, transport minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong said the move will not just help meet local demand but also spur the economy in the town and areas around it.
“After listening to the request of Johoreans, including those working in Singapore who wanted to visit their families on the weekends, we have decided to look into providing the bus route. The demand is there. This is the time for us to create another bus route so that it will help to address the problem the people face,” Wee commented.
The plan is to provide bus services from Yong Peng to Larkin – about 100 km away – that would be linked to Singapore. “Next week, we will be having serious discussions with the relevant agencies and bus operators. We will provide more information on the matter, including the frequency of the buses once it has been finalised,” explained Wee.
“This will not only benefit those in Yong Peng but also those living in nearby areas such as Chaah, Labis, Batu Pahat and Kluang. It is time to have at least one destination in central Johor to pick up those who want to travel to or from Singapore,” he continued.

Worst mot puppet in history
A TransMin that looks after the transport issue is worst in history? So what would consider the best in history? One that only cares to sell fancy plates and do nothing else?
Fully agreed bro
This simple thing also need transport ministry to handle ar? WKS so free is it?
If rakyat pays him 50 grand a month,what else can he do?
Cant just “memantau puspakom,jpj,ehailing issues “.
Must justify gaji ,mah.
It is very upsetting to be called “makan gaji buta”.
Must do something,mah.
Dont forget,he gets more grants for UTAR,and Taruc.This one thing,we cant deny.Also,he is doing something concrete regards the mat rempits.
The simplest things but was not done by his predecessor so Dr Wee has no choice but to double down the hardwork and actively introduce such people friendly measures.
Agree with the move as it will benefit Johoreans tremendously. Some things you just have to applaud.
Goondoo punya BN minister. Now only barking,
There is existing buses from these towns to Larkin. SMRT Bus 170 operates from Larkin. What rubbish is this?
exactly, would appreciate if he started the HSR project immediately
SMRT bus meant fares would go to Singapore so why should we give our money to them? With Dr Wee’s idea, the route will be served locally and we can keep our money within the country hence better for our economy. Don’t you think so?
Exactly bro
GE coming. need to hustle haha
At least he got do his job
