MUKAH: After more than 20 years, the stage bus service here will resume today (Dec 1), Tellian assemblyman Royston Valentine informed.

He thanked the bus service operator, City Public Link, for bringing back the service.

“The bus service route is from Mukah town, and the stops include Mukah Polytechnic, Universiti Teknologi Mara Mukah Campus, Oya, Dalat, Kingwood Resort and Balingian.

“We have not had this stage bus service for over 20 years and now it is back”, he told The Borneo Post's sister paper Utusan Borneo.

He said the bus service will certainly provide convenience to residents in Mukah, Balingian, Dalat and Oya who do not have vehicles to travel.

“It will also benefit students from higher education institutes in Mukah,” he added.

Royston said he was informed the bus company had applied for the RM1 fare stage bus subsidy programme.

“However, they have not received the approval yet since they submitted the application quite late.”

In this regard, he advised the company to submit their application at the beginning of next year.
