Can Iskandar Malaysia public transport system equals to Singapore's

I am writing this post when I am on the bus to office. Singapore is well-known on it's public transport system. The MRT as well as bus system are praised by travelers and foreigners.

To me, a Johor Bahru borne people who is working in Singapore, I am deeply hoping for a good public transport system in my hometown. Let's see what's happening in Iskandar Malaysia now:

1. Senai-Desaru highway is finished built
2. Coastal highway is near to complete
3. Train system to be upgraded by 2013
4. Rapid Linked System in between Woodlands in Singapore and Tanjung Puteri in Malaysia to be completed by 2018
5. Primary roads and secondary roads upgrades are under planning stage
6. LegoLand, Chelsea Premium Outlet and Educity are targeted to be opened at 2013
7. Senai Airport to JB highway is near to completion

With so many projects going on, I believe that Iskandar Malaysia can be 'Shen Zhen' to Singapore, provided there are co-operations in between both countries.

Yes, I sincerely hope that it will and can happen one day.
