According to a statement by the Land Public Transport Agency (APAD), the application for the Temporary Change of Licence (LPS) for festive occasions will be open from Jan 5 to Feb 5, 2024. However, this application is limited to economy express bus services and for buses that do not exceed 10 years.
The application is also subject to several conditions. One of these conditions is that the bus must be equipped with the Global Positioning System (GPS) and comply with the stipulated express bus policies and specifications
Additionally, a statement from the agency said, “Tour buses that exceed the age limit and have received the approval of the Computerised Vehicle Inspection Centre (Puspakom) Special VR1 Report (Code 9009) are also allowed to apply for LPS.”
Just yesterday, Transport Minister Anthony Loke announced that APAD would open applications for LPS for the festive occasion for the period from Feb 7 to 18 in order to accommodate the high demand for buses during the Chinese New Year celebration.
The agency stated that interested bus operators must submit the applications and comply with all the stipulated conditions at any of the APAD regional offices and counters in Peninsular Malaysia. – Bernama
