KUALA LUMPUR: The experimental project for the 8m-long buses on route T300 between Ampang Point and Bukit Indah hub, which began today, saw an average of 10 passengers for every journey, according to Prasarana Malaysia Berhad.
“As at noon today, 21 journeys or trips had been carried out from 5.30am with three buses operating and about 200 passengers taking the buses after six hours of service.
“The number of passengers, however, is expected to increase on Tuesday (Sept 3) when the schools reopen and members of the public start work again after the long three-day leave for Merdaka Day yesterday and the Maal Hijrah celebration today,” it said in a statement
The experimental project for the T300 bus route would run for three months. The daily service will end at 11.40pm.
“Previously, the T300 route only used two ordinary 12m-buses for routes stretching 11km with an average of 800 passengers per day and 24,000 passengers monthly.
“It is part of efforts by Prasarana and its subsidiary, Rapid Bus, to transform the national public transport system to provide a world-class service,” the statement added. - FMT
