Yesterday (Monday, December 16), The Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) took to their Facebook page to announce that, starting in 2025, foreigners will be charged RM1 for certain routes of their GOKL bus service. This charge on foreigners has been implemented in stages on other routes since the beginning of 2024.

They wrote, “From January 1, 2025, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) will charge non-citizens for the use of GOKL bus services on Route 05 (Orange), Route 06 (Pink) and Route 08 (Maroon).”

“Route 05 (Orange) involves the route from Titiwangsa Hub to MINDEF, Route 06 (Pink) involves the route from the Universiti LRT Station to PPR Seri Pantai, and Route 08 (Maroon) involves the route from the Kampung Batu KTM/MRT Station to Chow Kit.”

For Malaysians, GOKL bus services remain complimentary upon the registration of their ICs with the Touch ‘n Go system and complimentary for children aged 12 and below without registration requirements.

 

However, these new charges implemented for foreigners have left Malaysians with mixed reactions as some believe it is unfair while others think it should have been applied a long time ago.

“Discrimination against non-citizen users. This very much shouldn’t be implemented. Please, DBKL, re-evaluate this. Ensure fair rights for all users.”

“This is good, I agree, it’s been long-awaited.”

bus 3

“This is very good. Benefits need to be prioritised for Malaysians. Good job, DBKL.”

bus 4

“(Only) RM1? They should charge according to distance as foreigners are not eligible for subsidies under the government.”
