Exclusive Electricity Tariff for Public Transport Operators: A Relief to Ease Financial Burden
KUALA LUMPUR: In a bid to alleviate the financial strain on public transport operators, the Transport Ministry has proposed the introduction of a special electricity tariff. According to Transport Minister Anthony Loke, the current electricity tariff is taking a toll on the operators, and this new proposal aims to provide them with some relief. The ministry is committed to supporting the public transport sector, which plays a vital role in the country's transportation network. By implementing a special electricity tariff, the government hopes to reduce the operational costs of public transport operators, enabling them to provide more efficient and reliable services to the public. This move is expected to have a positive impact on the industry, promoting the use of public transport and contributing to a more sustainable transportation system. With the new tariff, public transport operators can expect to save on their electricity bills, which will help them to invest in better services and facilities for commuters. The proposal is part of the government's efforts to promote the development of a more efficient and environmentally friendly public transport system, which includes the adoption of electric vehicles and the implementation of smart transportation technologies.
