Foreigners to be charged RM1 for GoKL bus service next year

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 18 — Foreigners who use the GoKL bus service will be charged RM1 per trip beginning January 1, 2024.

The Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) said the charge will be implemented in stages involving four routes around the city centre, namely Route 01 (Green), Route 02 (Purple), Route 03 (Red), and Route 04 (Blue).

“Payment transactions are cashless: through Touch ‘N Go cards, QR codes, credit cards, or debit cards. However, it is free for all children aged 12 and under, including non-citizens,” it said in a statement today.

Meanwhile, Malaysian citizens who use MyKads with the Touch ‘N Go feature must register their MyKad to enjoy the free service.

DBKL said it had set up registration counters for the purpose from December 1 at three locations, including the KLCC Bus Terminal, the Titiwangsa (Pekeliling) terminal, and the Pasar Seni terminal from 7am to noon, and 2pm to 7pm.

Its officers have also been stationed in selected GoKL buses to that end, while the regular registration counter at the lobby of Menara DBKL 1 has also been open every Wednesday from 9am to 4pm since December 6.

For any inquiries, the public can contact 03-2028 2298 (office hours) or email [email protected].
