KUCHING: In an effort to make the Bas.My Kuching Concession Card more accessible to the public, a mobile registration counter will be set up at Kenyalang Park this Saturday (August 2) from 9.00 to 11.00 am.
The mobile counter will be stationed in front of Klinik Med Lim and will assist eligible individuals, including senior citizens, students, and persons with disabilities, to register for the concession card on the spot.
Commercial Vehicle Licensing Board (LPKP) Chairman, Michael Kong said the initiative aims to bring the registration process closer to the community, especially for those who may find it inconvenient to travel to the designated registration centres.
“We understand that some members of the community may face challenges in travelling or navigating the online application process. By setting up a mobile counter in Kenyalang Park, we hope to ease the process for them and encourage more people to benefit from the subsidised bus fare programme,” said Kong.
He advised those planning to register to bring along their MyKad and a contact number to ensure a smooth registration process. For students, a copy of their student identification card or school verification letter is also required.
Kong added that this outreach effort is part of a broader initiative to promote the use of public transportation while easing the financial burden for targeted groups.
The Bas.My Kuching Concession Card allows cardholders to enjoy subsidised fares on public buses operating under the system, making daily travel more affordable and accessible.
