Economic Transformation with High Speed Rail Structuring .(Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy)
Singapore and Kuala Lumpur are an example of a viable city pair and the current plan to link the two cities with high speed rail presents the opportunity for greater economic integration between Malaysia and Singapore, significantly enhancing their global competitiveness.
True high-speed rail is rail can travel over 300 km/hour, is exceptionally safe and environmentally superior to all other modes of transportation. It provides completely safe, reliable, fast and frequent (3-10 trains per hour) service.
