Abstract

The main purpose of this research is to analyse the effectiveness of the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore high-speed rail (HSR) implementation, particularly during the post-pandemic situation. To achieve that, this research will first determine the passenger movement trend from Kuala Lumpur (KL) to Singapore from all modes of transportation. This paper also intends to provide an understanding of factors affecting travel demand using Political, Economy, Social, Technological, Environmental and Legal (PESTEL) between these two countries. A quantitative method using secondary data was employed to achieve the research objectives. Data were then analysed using multiple linear regression analysis to determine the relationship between passenger movement and factors affecting travel demand. Results revealed that there is a growth in passenger movement and demand from KL to Singapore. The result has also shown a positive relationship between passenger movement and factors affecting travel demand from KL to Singapore. This study might be beneficial to various stakeholders who wish to advance more thought and knowledge on the impact of this HSR implementation. The study also will be valuable for the government representative, given the strengthening trade relationships between Singapore and Malaysia.
