The Johor Public Transport Corporation - Perbadanan Pengangkutan Awam Johor (PAJ) - announced the introduction of ten new Bas Muafakat Johor (BMJ) bus routes across the Johor state. The new routes will benefit commuters in the towns of Muar, Simpang Renggam, Kluang, Segamat and Tangkak.
The expanded Bas Muafakat Johor initiative was launched at Uptown Maharani in Muar on Thursday, 30 March 2017 by Johor Mentri Besar Dato ' Mohamed Khaled Nordin.
On 1 April 2017, ten routes will begin operations. Three routes will serve Muar, two each for Simpang Renggam, Kluang and Segamat, and one for Tangkak.
PAJ aims to expand the BMJ scheme to a total of 26 bus routes within Johor Bahru, and 20 bus routes beyond Johor Bahru.
Mohamed Khaled said that there will be three routes each in Muar and Mersing, two routes each in Batu Pahat, Kluang, Pontian, Segamat, Kota Tinggi and Simpang Renggam as well as one route each in Tangkak and Yong Peng. RM19.7 million had been allocated for this initiative, a collaborated initiative between the state government and local city councils.
“We expect some 80 buses to be operational in Johor this year,” he added.
The Bas Muafakat Johor initiative was first introduced in April last year in Johor Bahru, with 15 routes to enhance the public bus network around Johor Bahru. The bus routes initially covered a distance of 813.6km, but will soon cover more than 1,357km. It was reported that more than 1.34 million people have used the service since it was introduced.
To be entitled with free bus ride, users of the Bas Muafakat Johor must register for the Muafakat Johor Card (Kad Muafakat Johor) from the official website here. The free bus services are only available for Malaysian citizens, whom have registered and received their travel card. For enquiries, please visit their website or call PAJ hotline at 1300-22-3700.
