SPAD to suspend 27 KTB bus permits


PETALING JAYA: Twenty-seven Konsortium Transnasional Bhd (KTB) bus permits for the Kuala Lumpur-Kota Baru route will be suspended from April 23, following the Bentong crash that claimed three lives on April 12.

The Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) said an audit on KTB found that the company did not monitor its bus fleet’s speed limits, and that the Global Positioning System (GPS) on these buses were not working.
