No worry, we borrow from Arab Saudi and return balance when not needed.

Many of HSR station in China are built in the suburb. If one travelled on HSR in China recently could find abandoned housing projects near these new HSR stations. If HSR stations in China couldn't sustain new housing development, doubt HSR station in kangkong land could create sustainable demand in high rise residential.

CIMB Research says YTL Corp believes that its HSR proposal is still competitive, as it leverages on its track record in building and managing the Express Rail Link.

ytl not in favour with pm. end of story

Is Cimb research relevant in hsr decision making?

Some reading on HSR in Straits Times Singapore, let see how accurate their prediction later.


Who will benefit?

National University of Singapore transport expert Lee Der Horng said he expects the high-speed rail (HSR) to run every 15 minutes - an "aggressive prediction" in his books - and have 12 carriages, each with a maximum capacity of 80 people, which is typical for HSR trains.


...experts said such rail systems are not designed for daily commuting due to their pricing and station locations.

But business travellers who come to Singapore or go up to KL for short-term projects, or make weekly and monthly trips, are likely to be major users.

..

"Companies now book rooms for delegates for a night. With the HSR, they can return on the same day. This will significantly reduce the cost of doing business and spur partnerships between both countries," said Assistant Professor Theseira.

For leisure, the HSR is expected to increase the number of day trips and short stays in both countries. "It provides an avenue for twin-city tour packages," said Ngee Ann Polytechnic tourism lecturer Michael Chiam.

How much would tickets cost?
Industry players estimate that commuters may pay between $80 and $90 a trip - although the pricing system may be similar to that of airlines, where fares change daily depending on demand.

expected

those still dreaming daily commute and cheap tix price pls keep dreaming

no country in this world can do tat

and i doubt it will help much on the prop along the HSR......

Based on Nanyang, Singaporean investors very keen on property near by HSR Stations due to weaken ringgit.

Sime Darby will be the biggest winner as they owned more than 5,000 undeveloped land at Labu, Seremban while other towns not so clear no major developers there (Ayer Keroh, Muar, Batu Pahat). Bandar Malaysia & Iskandar Puteri sure will blossom.


（吉隆坡20日讯）马来西亚房地产中介师协会（MIEA）预测，在柔南依斯干达特区之后，新加坡投资者料将“抢攻”吉隆坡—新加坡高铁沿站周围的房地产。
该协会指出，目前疲弱的令吉成为吸引狮城投资者的催化剂。
该协会主席辜永展接受《南洋商报》专访时说，早在几年前，新加坡投资者已经投资于新山的依斯干达特区，目前他们对麻坡、峇株巴辖、马六甲及吉隆坡等隆新高铁沿站周围产业皆有兴趣。

Sure it's would be in Bandar Malaysia, Jibby "pet project"

12 cars then they should have 2 cars which feature super small seats for super economy class.

hsr is not really an attractive factor for those who wants to rent...
niche market maybe okay but for the majority of people, i'd like to believe that they prefer lrt, shopping malls, etc...

Anyone seen this?
