MCO: Public transport operating hours restricted to 9 hours a day

The government is tightening the enforcement of the Movement Control Order (MCO) by reducing the operating hours for public transportation. All forms of public transport will only operate between 6am to 10am and 5pm to 10pm. This new schedule will take effect until 31st March 2020.

According to Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, public transportation is only needed by workers travelling to and from work and it is difficult to maintain the one-metre social-distancing order in public transportation.
