Singapore and Malaysia are considering providing two ways of service on the cross-border high speed rail (HSR) network between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. The HSR, which will connect Singapore and Malaysia, has been postponed due to insufficient preparation and further due to lack of consensus on details of procurement and operation. Both countries are still in discussion on the HSR project’s commercial and operating models, which could possibly include an express non-stop service between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore and a transit service that calls at several stations in between. Earlier, in October 2015, Malaysia’s Land Public Transport Commission and Singapore’s LTA had launched a joint request for an information exercise on the HSR project. A total of 98 submissions were received in a month.
