Penang has extended its free bus service into next year, with unlimited rides on Rapid Penang on all routes.

Believed to be the first such service in the country, state transport committee chairman Zairil Khir Johari said it is expected to further ease the burden of Penangites.“However, for 2022 we will be allocating RM50 Pas Mutiara cards for only 7,500 commuters per month compared to 10,000 commuters this year.

“Commuters can renew their cards for free at all Rapid Penang kiosks, with first-time users being charged RM10 for the card and RM5 of ‘purse value’,” said Zairil at a press conference in Komtar yesterday. “We will be using 10 buses with the present route retained, with 15 to 30 minute intervals during peak hours, beginning 6am daily.

“We hope with these initiatives, more people would opt for public transport rather than use their own vehicles,” he said.
