The Keretapi Tanah Melayu train service between Johor Bahru and Woodlands will resume operations on June 19.

The service, also known as the Tebrau Shuttle, had been suspended since March 24, 2020, due to the pandemic.

"I’m pleased to announce that in the transition phase to endemic and following the reopening of our borders, the Shuttle Tebrau service is finally going to resume. Ticket sales will start on 13 June for travel from 19 June to 18 July 2022."

Wee said there are 31 services daily on the "JB Sentral - Woodlands - JB Sentral route at 30 minutes intervals".

He noted that some 7,000 people "will be served daily on this popular route back and forth from Singapore".
