About JB Sentral

JB Sentral is the new transportation hub for Johor Bahru, incorporating the main railway station and bus terminal. It is part of the Southern Integrated Gateway, also called Gerbang Selatan Bersepadu, that includes the new Sultan Iskandar Customs, Immigration and Quarantine Complex. JB Sentral, when fully completed, will be the transportation hub for Johor Bahru and the southern part of Peninsular Malaysia. The CIQ complex was opened to vehicles on 16 December, 2008, while passengers start using JB Sentral since February 2009. At time of writing (Aug 2009), the trains still use the old Johor Bahru Station.

JB Sentral was built to relieve the congestion in the Johor Bahru Central Business District. The North South Expressway is linked directly to the new CIQ Complex through the Johor Bahru Inner Ring Road. This is done to improve traffic flow between Johor Bahru and Singapore.

Total built-up area of JB Sental is 79,000 square meters, almost twice the size of KL Sentral, which is 42,000 square meters. There will be a railway station as well as a bus station here. The bus station will take up 9500 square meters of space, and will be able to handle up to 15,000 bus passengers per hour. There will also be 2,000 parking spaces at JB Sentral.

To facilitate people movement, a pedestrian bridge is built to connect JB Sentral to Johor Bahru City Square and Kompleks Tun Abdul Razak.
