Express bus fares for the coming Aidilfitri celebrations will follow the new rate approved by the government on Aug 1, which is 8.5 sen per kilometre.
A surcharge of RM3 is allowed for tickets of additional express buses, said Commercial Vehicle Licensing Board (CVLB) chairman Datuk Halimah Mohamed Sadique.
In a statement, she said the board would issue temporary licences to ensure there would be sufficient buses to cater to the public's demand.
"Applications for the temporary licences will start from Aug 22 to Sept 18, whereby the licences will be valid seven days before Aidilfitri and seven days after (Sept 13 to 28)," she said.
She added that only buses below 15 years old would be allowed as additional buses.
"No distance limit is imposed on buses below 12 years, but buses between 12 and 15 years are limited to a one-way trip of not more than 300km," she said.
