The estimated distance of 320km to 340km between Singapore and the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur is ideal for a high-speed rail, say experts.
Studies by high-speed rail experts in Japan show there is a distance sweet spot where commuters would opt for the train over a bus or a plane.
At 515km - the stretch between Tokyo and Osaka - the Shinkansen accounts for 77 per cent of the travel market. But between Tokyo and Fukuoka, a 1,069km, five-hour journey, the train holds only a 9 per cent share, and the airplane, a whopping 90 per cent.
The Singapore-Kuala Lumpur route is closest in distance to the Shinakansen's Tokyo-Nagoya route, which runs for 342km.
