Infrastructure
Rail in the valley, a causeway at the border
Kuala Lumpur’s network, Penang’s bridges, and Johor’s crossings are three systems. Proximity is not ease.

Infrastructure note. Operating systems, announced ones, and who would have to pay.
The longer country file is the Malaysia market hub.
Three systems, not one national network. In the Klang Valley, rail changes what “central” means, and only along the line a household would ride. Johor’s fact is the border crossings that already exist, plus any rail project still in delivery. Penang is an island and a mainland joined by bridges.
The operating network, the ports and the power constraint on heavy uses are on the country hub. A marketing map wider than the line in service is not a second inventory. Proximity and ease are different.
