Johor Bahru, September 16, 2024 – myBAS Johor Bahru, in collaboration with Toppen Shopping Centre Management, has introduced a special pop-up registration counter for the myBASKonsesi program.

This initiative aims to provide easy and convenient access for mall-goers to register for the program, offering them the chance to enjoy free unlimited rides on myBAS Johor Bahru services.

The counter is strategically located between IKEA and Toppen Shopping Centre, making it highly accessible to shoppers from both establishments.

The myBASKonsesi program is a vital component of the PAS Transit initiative, designed to provide Malaysian citizens in specific categories with unlimited free access to myBAS Johor Bahru bus services. The eligible groups for this program include:

• Students aged 7 to 17
• Senior citizens aged 60 and above
• Persons with disabilities (PWD)

Administered by the Agensi Pengangkutan Awam Darat (APAD) under the Ministry of Transport Malaysia, the myBASKonsesi seeks to make public transportation more accessible, particularly for those in need. By providing free unlimited rides, the program reduces financial barriers and supports a more sustainable mode of travel.

Why Toppen Shopping Centre?

Toppen Shopping Centre, one of the busiest and most popular malls in Johor Bahru, attracts thousands of shoppers daily. The mall is conveniently located along myBAS Johor Bahru’s T14 route, which connects JB Sentral to Toppen Shopping Centre and operates on a daily basis.

This collaboration with Toppen helps reach a wider audience, encouraging eligible Malaysians to take advantage of the myBASKonsesi program while they shop.

Benefits of myBASKonsesi

Through this initiative, myBAS Johor Bahru aims to promote the use of public transportation among Malaysians, particularly students, senior citizens, and

individuals with disabilities. In addition to easing mobility for these groups, this program contributes to reducing traffic congestion and promoting an eco-friendly alternative to driving.

“We are excited to partner with Toppen Shopping Centre for this initiative. By bringing the myBASKonsesi registration process directly to the public, we make it easier for eligible individuals to sign up and enjoy the full benefits of free public transportation,” said by Sonny Peru Cosme, Senior PR and Marketing Executive of Handal Indah Sdn. Bhd handling the Marketing and Advertising Promotion of myBAS Johor Bahru. “This is part of our ongoing commitment to providing a more accessible, convenient, and green transportation option for everyone.”

How to Register and Get Information

Mall-goers who are interested in the myBASKonsesi program can visit the pop-up counter at Toppen Shopping Centre for registration. Eligible individuals are encouraged to bring necessary documentation, such as identification cards or student IDs, to complete the registration process smoothly.

To further enhance the convenience of its passengers, myBAS Johor Bahru has integrated information on bus routes, schedules, and service updates through the LUGO App. Users can also visit the myBAS Johor Bahru website for detailed information on various routes and the myBASKonsesi program.
