The proposal to build a KTM Komuter station at Arena Larkin, with an estimated indicative allocation of RM50 million ($15.7 million), is planned to connect rail services, the bus terminal, and the proposed Elevated Autonomous Rapid Transit (e-ART) route, Songapore-based Malay-language Berita Harian reported on Tuesday, 10 November 2026.

Johor Public Works, Transportation, Infrastructure and Communications Committee Chairman, Encik  Mohamad Fazli Mohamad Salleh, stated that the proposed station is listed as one of the initiatives in the 2027 Budget Measures Summary.
According to him, the station is planned as part of a transit-oriented development to strengthen the public transport network in Johor Bahru.
“Inter-city bus services within Johor as well as cross-border services to Singapore are proposed to remain in the Larkin area,” he reportedly said in a statement on 10 November.
“The connection between the bus terminal and the proposed KTM Komuter station is important to make it easier for passengers to transfer services and continue their journeys to their respective destinations.”
Prior to that, he held discussions with the Secretary-General of the Ministry of Transport Malaysia (MOT), Datuk Seri Jana Santhiran Muniayan, in Putrajaya regarding the direction of transformation and upgrading for Johor’s public transport hubs.
Fazli said the proposed development of Arena Larkin needs to be carefully studied, including its impact on the surrounding area.
Among the matters that developers need to evaluate are the drainage system's ability to manage rainwater as well as the capacity of access roads and intersections to handle increased traffic, particularly during peak hours.
According to him, the state government will continue coordination with the MOT and related agencies to flesh out the proposal.
Priority is given to passenger access to the station and terminal as well as the continuity of existing bus services.
In a separate development, Fazli said the Tebrau and Plentong Eco-Friendly Drainage Project, Package 1—which involves Kampung Ubi and Kempas Permatang—has achieved an overall progress of 98 percent as of October.
The project, valued at approximately RM8.46 million, is targeted for completion on 30 November.
In Kampung Ubi, the facilities developed include screw-type pumps, a 1,730-square-meter flood retention pond, as well as upgraded drains and flood protection structures.
According to him, residents in the area face the risk of flooding when heavy rain coincides with high tide, which hinders water release and causes overflow into homes.
The pumps are equipped with automated water level sensors that allow them to operate when water exceeds set thresholds.
“This system is important, especially during heavy rain, because water can be pumped out without waiting for the pumps to be turned on manually,” he said.
Fazli said he has inspected the readiness of the pumps and retention ponds and asked the implementing parties to complete the remaining work according to schedule.
He hopes the facility can reduce the risk of flooding and protect the homes and property of Kampung Ubi residents.
