Public transport services in the country are now allowed to operate at full capacity, senior minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said. Buses, ferries and trains, including LRT and MRT which allow standing passengers can now ply routes at full load, he said.
UPDATE June 12: Buses for factory workers as well as for tourists have also been allowed to transport the full capacity of passengers.
“Standard operating procedures (SOPs) are in place and operators must ensure it is followed by the passengers. This includes wearing face masks at all times while on public transport, downloading the MySejahtera application and providing hand sanitisers,” the minister said according to The Star.
Similarly, express buses and e-hailing service providers are now also allowed to operate at their vehicles’ full capacity and with no time limit, compared to during the movement control order (MCO) when night travel was not allowed and passenger capacity aboard buses were halved, while e-hailing service providers could only operate until 10pm and were limited to two persons in a car.
In addition to registering either manually or via the MySejahtera app, temperature checks must be conducted before occupants board express buses. Face masks must be used by both drivers and passengers throughout the journey, and the vehicle must be sanitised and cleaned after each trip taken by express buses or e-hailing providers, and payment transactions must also be cashless, the minister said.
On Tuesday, Rapid KL CEO Abdul Hadi Amran announced that the firm’s trains and stations will do away with social distancing rules upon commencement of the RMCO on June 10. This was dismissed by the senior minister on the same day, who said that Rapid KL had no authority to lift social distancing measures, as this is under the scope of the National Security Council and the government.
From June 10, the recovery movement control order (RMCO) replaced the conditional movement control order (CMCO), and this has allowed interstate travel again. The RMCO remains in effect until August 31.

2 days ago when Rapid KL said will end social distancing, minister Datuk Seri Ismail said it should continue. Now social distancing is not needed. clearly this guy doesn’t know his job and just simply give directions based on his power and position. a good laughing stock.
Not expect much when they all come frm bekdor
The minister was spot on to remind Rapid KL that they don’t have authority to lift the social distancing measures. Yes, full capacity, but they must ensure SOPs are being adhered. RMCO is still in place. New norm.
Install disinfectant sprays on every door on the trains, automatically sprays when doors are open.
Dont know whether new IT mall will be proposed again. Reason is need to dilute crowd
There are way too many malls, so many that not all shops are occupied.
2 days ago, COVID-19 infection rate haven’t dropped to single figures. 2 days later, we have shown this was possible and the worst is over. So of course, a smart government will adapt their policies when the need arises. Even with new infections, EPL will restart soon, so the world cannot standstill anymore.
Clearly you don’t know how proper governments does things and if you’re afraid, you can stay home forever. You’re just a troll after all.
Spot on the truth. Our gomen really knows how to use brain unlike the previous one that allowed COVID virus to freely enter our beloved country.

Indonesia dah mula bukak. Buat pe Mesia nak tunggu lagi?
No worries becoz in Malaysia….today cannot, tomorrow can. Please don’t go himpit himpit and gesek gesek while taking such transportation. Tak baik, ok?
Looks like profits takes precedence over safety.
Similar to air travel – IATA is an association so
definitely it has to take care of its members survival.
WKS + IS did you consult DG or Air Suam?
The world is reopening. We cannot stay scared forever and isolate ourselves forever. At least the worst has passed when we’re opening back for business.
The math doesn’t compute for me… 100% full capacity is now allowed but still need to adhere to the SOP of social distancing and avoid 3C. In theory, Rapid can go 100% cap, but practically, only 50% since social distance required within the cabin. Unless “new” SOp is only to wear face mask and sanitize your hands. Close contact is now allowed especially in public places/transports. Hmmm…. pening pening pagi dingin
Simple really. Rapid can go full capacity up to social distancing requirement limits. So if a train can fit 50 persons when everyone is following SD, that is the 100% capacity. I don’t see a problem with that.
