Kota Kinabalu: The BAS.MY Kota Kinabalu public bus service officially began operations Tuesday, marking a significant step towards improving public transportation in the city.
The initiative introduces two key routes, S01 and S05, operating from the KK Sentral Bus Terminal, with a fleet of approximately 10 buses deployed in its initial phase to serve commuters.
The service is expected to provide a more affordable and reliable transportation option for residents, especially as fuel prices continue to rise due to global oil trends, offering a practical alternative for daily travel.
BAS.MY also features a fully cashless payment system, supporting the Manjalink card, concession cards offering free unlimited rides for senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and students, as well as 30-day passes for working individuals.
Payments can be made via Visa and MasterCard bank cards and DuitNow, with concession and monthly passes available exclusively to Malaysian citizens with a valid identification card.
