Amali Munif Rahmat, president of the Federation of School Bus Associations Malaysia, cited higher spare part prices, pay increases for drivers to retain them, and competition from unlicensed operators. Parent Action Group for Education Malaysia secretary Tunku Munawirah Putra said in response that the government should provide bus fare subsidies in the form of vouchers to ease the burden of B40 households with schoolchildren.
” On the projected higher fares, Amali said the federation has issued a guideline on the monthly rates according to the service provided and distance, among other factors. This can range from RM50 to RM1,000 as some parents want extremely comfortable buses which can be tracked via GPS.Tunku Munawirah pointed out that higher school bus fares was an issue that was raised often but without a solution being found. Therefore, she said, it required the government to step in.
