Free myBAS Bus Service For Eligible Individuals In Three States

According to Anthony Loke Siew Fook, individuals with special needs, students, and senior citizens in three states can now travel for free on the myBAS stage bus service.

Special needs individuals registered with the Welfare Department, students aged seven to 17, and senior citizens over 60 can apply for the myBASKonsesi card beginning Tuesday (Aug 15), which will allow them to travel for free on 58 routes in Negeri Sembilan, Perak, and Johor, according to The Star.

"This is another ministry initiative under the Stage Bus Service Transformation programme to help people reduce their living costs."

"Those eligible will only have to bring their MyKad, MyKid, or MyTentera identification document or the OKU card issued by the Welfare Department when applying," he told The star.

Those interested in applying for the pass in Negeri Sembilan can do so at Terminal One Station, Nilai Sentral, and the bus stations in Bahau, Tampin, and Port Dickson, according to Loke.

They can go to the Medan Kidd Station in Ipoh, and the KSL City Mall, TF Value Mart in Nusa Bestari, Senai International Airport, Customs, Immigration, and Quarantine Complex, and the Gelang Patah and Kulai bus terminals in Johor.

Children under the age of six do not need to apply because they can travel for free.

Those who are successful, according to Loke, will have to renew their card on an annual basis. There will be no charge.

"We will expand these free rides initiatives for targeted groups in other states in stages," he said, adding that the service was also available in Perlis and Terengganu.

According to Loke, anyone who is eligible can apply, and there is no age limit.
