Closing Off a Lifeline in Johor Bahru: A Shift in Priorities The upcoming closure of Jalan Jim Quee to private vehicles has sparked debate about the state government's priorities, particularly when it comes to public transportation.
Starting 2027, this major thoroughfare will be reserved for buses, taxis, and officials working at the nearby CIQ Complex.
Proponents argue that this move is necessary to ensure smoother traffic flow as the RTS Link becomes operational. However, others see it as a misguided effort to prioritize public transport over private vehicles.
