Klang Valley Rapid Transit bus rate structure approved by Cabinet

The Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) announced that the Cabinet has approved the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) fare structure for the Klang Valley at the recent meeting held on July 29, 2015.

SPAD in a statement on Saturday said the approved fare structure consisted of a basic fare component of RM0.90 and a distance-based fare component based on per kilometre (KM) run which starts at RM0.815 for the first 6 to 12KM.

"RM0.421 per KM for 12 to 18KM, RM0.282 per KM for 18 to 24KM and RM0.212 per KM for distances more than 24KM," the statement said.

The fare structure has set the maximum allowable fares to BRT services by operators. Therefore, individual operators are not allowed to impose fares exceeding the fare structure, it said.

In approving the fare structure, the Cabinet also directed operators to provide a 50 per cent discount on fares for students, senior citizens and the disabled on the BRT lines.
