Mohamad Fazli said some 3.6 million people had used the free public transportation initiative, Bas Muafakat Johor, since its inception in 2016.
State works, transportation and infrastructure committee chairman Mohamad Fazli Mohamad Salleh said some 3.6 million people had used BMJ since its inception in 2016.“The state government introduced the free bus shuttle service to the two main public hospitals last November.
“They said they found it difficult to find parking space at HSA and HSI,” he told StarMetro in an interview at Kota Iskandar. Mohamad Fazli also said that the state government, through the Johor Public Transport Corporation , conducted a study to determine why HSA had lower ridership than HSI.The Bukit Pasir assemblyman said one of the reasons was the longer route to HSA compared to HSI.
“We identified an obstacle at HSA where the buses could not stop at the hospital lobby, unlike at HSI, due to a roundabout. Mohamad Fazli said that among the measures was building a covered pathway from the hospital’s main gate to the lobby area.“Our objective is to get more locals to use Bas Muafakat Johor.The Johor government wants more to use public transportation to ease congestion, especially in Johor Baru.
