MELAKA: The state government will introduce electric-powered buses plying the tourist route in city at the end of January, as a way to boost domestic tourism.
State executive councillor Roslan Ahmad said the service is a result of cooperation between state government subsidiary Panorama Sdn Bhd and a private company operating in Kuala Lumpur.
The electric-powered buses will begin their services from Melaka Sentral and pass through nine or 14 stations covering tourist areas, including the Melaka Zoo, Taming Sari Tower, Unesco World Heritage Site around Banda Hilir, before heading for Klebang.
The buses have a capacity of 40 passengers and will have wi-fi facilities and both air-conditioned seating as well as an open-air space.
“For a start, two or three units of the buses will be operational,” he told reporters when met after the state assembly sitting at Kompleks Seri Negeri here today.
Fares will be paid via top-up cards, valued between RM20 and RM30, which can be used for a certain period of time. - FMT
