PUTRAJAYA, Jan 13 — The application for the Temporary Change of Licence (LPS) for festive occasions application, open from January 5 to February 5, is limited to economy express bus services and for buses that do not exceed ten years.
The Land Public Transport Agency (Apad) said the application is also subject to several conditions, namely for the bus to be equipped with the Global Positioning System (GPS) and comply with the stipulated express bus policies and specifications.
"Tour buses which exceed the age limit and have received the approval of the Computerised Vehicle Inspection Centre (Puspakom) Special VR1 Report (Code 9009) are also allowed to apply for LPS," it said in a statement today.
Yesterday, Transport Minister Anthony Loke said Apad would open applications for LPS for the festive occasion for the period from February 7 to February 18, to accommodate the high demand for buses in conjunction with the Chinese New Year celebrations.
