Buses, all equipped with air conditioning, will operate daily on these routes every 10 - 20 minutes from 5.30am to 9.00pm.

The launching of the 6 new subsidised intra-city bus routes connecting the city centre to suburban areas aims to meet growing travel demands of commuters, hereby encouraging locals to use public transport services rather than their personal vehicles . The intention is to ease traffic congestion and environmental pollution.

In recent times, the city has seen a month-on-month rise in the number of bus passengers.
