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.
