IPOH, Oct 2 (Bernama) -- A consortium involving the three existing bus companies will be set up by year end to standardise the bus services in the city and overcome the problem of old buses.
State Public Service and Consumerism Committee chairman Datuk Dr Mah Hang Soon said Friday the new schedules involving 300 buses were expected to start on Nov 1.
He said the Ipoh City Council had also been directed to conduct a study on the old and dilapidated bus stops with a view to building new ones for the comfort of commuters.
The state government was also considering implementing special bus lanes in the city to overcome traffic jams when the consortium took over, he said.
