Silence at bus terminals


All’s quiet at the station: Empty seats and very few customers at the ticket counters in the Sungai Nibong express bus terminal. — CHAN BOON KAI/The Star

GEORGE TOWN: With almost no chance to balik kampung for Hari Raya Aidilfitri, express bus operators can only wait it out and serve passengers who need to travel for permitted reasons.

Express bus ticketing agent Mohamad Mizi, 52, said from 12 full busloads to Kuala Lumpur a day during Ramadan in previous years, he could only sell one, and it would not be always full.
