Charging foreigners to use free bus service common abroad, says SSDU

THE PJ City Bus and Smart Selangor free bus services for Malaysians should be seen as an "exclusive initiative" by the Selangor government for locals to enjoy the various public facilities in the state.

"The move to charge foreigners a 90sen fare is actually a common method by a government (in other countries) to differentiate the privileges citizens and foreigners would be entitled to when using services provided by the government," said SSDU Innovations Sdn Bhd (Smart Selangor Delivery Unit or SSDU).
