Whats the difference btw RTS and ETS?

Which one links from Sg to Jb?

RTS links JB & SG and vice versa

ETS is Electric Train System from JB to North, West and East coast of Peninsula all the way to Malaysia and Thailand borders.

I walked around and visited some F&B outlets there in the past. What I know there were many INDONESIAN CHINESE staying at R&F before Covid 19 Pandemic. I heard them talking to one another in Bahasa Indonesia.

I'm not sure about now. I haven't visit that R&F mall too since the border reopened in April 2022.

I will do that when I feel like going there...

For now. Mostly F&B outlets there and many Chinese Restaurants. Looks good. Give TIME and see how it goes next year.

I saw and heard many Chinese Indonesians and Chinese people from China with family members. Some couples too

Then I noticed and observed around 6pm to 7pm many young Malaysians mainly Chinese Malaysians walking back to their rental units there after their work in SG. Some eating their dinner below before going up to their condo unit at R&F...

Go JB to see for yourself the location of the RTS station. It is FAR away from R&F mall. The RTS crowd are not going to walk to R&F mall

The closest mall to the RTS station is Komtar mall. It is now booming, with more tenants moving into previously empty shops.

Depends how they plan their journey home. I think many would still prefer taking buses from Woodlands Checkpoint...cheaper fare for them I guess especially those working in Woodlands and Marsiling area.

I also saw that many Malaysians that stay at R&F Condo and work in SG prefer to walk along the main road then crossed the road at the traffic lights to return to R&F Mall/Condos. Its shorter journey actually. Just now from R&F Mall to JB Sentral to meet my wife at 8pm there I used the main road towards JB Sentral bus terminal. Before that I used the overhead bridge from CIQ/JB Sentral to go to R&F Mall/Condos. I found it longer journey takes about 15 to 20 minutes to reach R&F Mall.

Bang on! Walking time to CIQ is around 10 mins along the main road under the bridge and 15-20mins using the link bridge which is still disconnected due to the construction of RTS :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

BTW, customers of R&F Mall are mostly home owners/renters of PC and surrounding condos, which is why most shops are F&Bs :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
