New free bus service brings hope


One of the buses plying the Bukit Mertajam-Komtar route.

Single mother Cindy Woon, 41, needs to look for a job, and thanks to the free bus service from Bukit Mertajam to Komtar, she can search further afield.

Woon lives in a low-cost flat in Bukit Mertajam with her 14-year-old son and 17-year-old daughter after leaving a turbulent marriage eight years ago.
