There is no confirmation yet on the prices but there was an initial proposed one-way fare of S$4.90 (RM15) but it was deemed too expensive for daily commutes. Considering an average Malaysian working in Singapore requires a 2-way trip, that does seem unattainable on a reasonable budget.<\/p>\n<p>For now, Hopefully, fair pricing will be settled within the next 2 weeks so the project can be approved by 31 Oct.<\/p>\n<p>We are really crossing our fingers for Malaysia to green-light the project ASAP so that we can <a class=\"thirstylink\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Expedia\" href=\"https:\/\/sg.everydayonsales.com\/news\/go\/expedia\/\" data-nojs=\"1\" data-shortcode=\"true\">travel<\/a> to ease.
