PUTRAJAYA, Feb 3 — Free shuttle bus services from KL Sentral to the Parliament building will be provided for Members of Parliament and Parliament staff during the next Parliament session, says Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook.
Speaking at a press conference after attending the ministry’s ‘Tautan Mesra dan Perpaduan’ ceremony here today, Loke said Dewan Rakyat Speaker Datuk Johari Abdul had also agreed with the proposal to introduce the bus services.
“We will see how to implement it in terms of the security pass mechanism,” he said, adding that the introduction of the bus services is an effort to reduce congestion in the area as well as encourage people to use public transport.
The Dewan Rakyat sitting is scheduled to start on Feb 13.
Meanwhile, Loke said that Phase Two of the Putrajaya MRT line from Putrajaya Sentral to Kwasa Damansara will operate next month, adding that test runs are being conducted and monitored by the Land Public Transport Agency (APAD).
