KLUANG: The state government spends about RM30mil each year to run a free bus service known as Bas Muafakat Johor (BMJ) to ease the burden of the people in the state.

Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi said that since the BMJ began operating in 2016, about 12 million passengers in the designated routes have benefitted from the service.
