Indonesian Timaneh Ibnu, 48, said the initiative in Taman Sri Muda reduces the burden of residents affected by the floods.
"Various things have been done by the authorities to give comfort to the residents, maybe this (bus service) seems small but meaningful for those who having difficulty now like us," she said.
The temporary routes in Taman Sri Muda for the use of local residents affected by the floods began on January 1.
The service runs from 6am to 10pm, with a frequency of once every hour.
