KUALA LUMPUR, Aug. 3 -- Johor and Singapore have proposed introducing cross-border e-hailing services as an alternative mode of transport for commuters.

Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi said the proposal was among the matters discussed during his meeting with Singapore's Acting Transport Minister Jeffrey Siow on Friday.

"This service not only offers more flexible, on-demand mobility options for users but also has the potential to ease congestion on major routes and create income opportunities for local drivers," he said in a statement yesterday.

"It could also serve as a catalyst for a more user-friendly, safe and competitive transport system, while strengthening integration between both countries' public transport networks."...
