Urban Development of Johore Bahru
A number of urban development projects in the city centre with the aim of making the city centre more pedestrian friendly has recently been completed. Among these projects are:
Pedestrianisation of Jalan Meldrum by narrowing the two-way street into a single-lane street with the accompanying pedestrian mall with outdoor cafe kiosks.
Pedestrianisation of the area around OCBC Bank and City Council building.
The construction of Legaran Segget, or Segget Walk.
The construction of Laman Tun Sri Lanang, a small park in the heart of the city.
Monorail Project
Among future plans in Johor Bahru are the construction of a monorail using Maglev technology to link JB Sentral to Carrefour Pandan or ÆON Tebrau City Shopping Centre and from JB central to Danga Bay and Skudai.
Similar to the KL Monorail project where all the structures are elevated, the project will have eight stations between Johor Sentral, located next to the causeway, and ÆON Tebrau City near the Pandan Hospital.
Jalur Mudra expects the Johor monorail to ferry some 98,000 passengers daily with tickets priced between RM1.50 and RM2.60 for the 13-minute ride between Johor Sentral and ÆON Tebrau City.
