Kuala Lumpur Unveils “Hop On, Hop Off†Bus for Top Tourist Attractions
Government bodies in Malaysia have come together to establish a “hop on, hop off†air conditioned double decker tourist bus service in Kuala Lumpur.
Designed to provide an efficient linkage between the major attractions within the city and enhance tourism services, the service will further upgrade Kuala Lumpur’s status as a tourist-friendly city.
Director of Tourism Malaysia Sydney, Mr Shahrin Mokhtar, says the bus will offer tourists a more convenient way to discover Kuala Lumpur.
“The service has been developed to allow tourists to spend the day in the city – either shopping, dining, sightseeing, discovering our unique cultural activities or simply enjoying the freedom of exploring at their own pace,†says Shahrin.
The bus will run on a half hourly schedule, from 8:30am – 8:30pm, with 22 designated stops that access 40 tourist attractions.
“Riders will be given a pamphlet that promotes the sights of the city,†says Shahrin.
“They will also have the benefit of a guide on the bus, in addition to the driver.â€
A pre-recorded tour guide will be available on headsets in nine languages (Bahasa Malaysia, English, Mandarin, Hindi, Arabic, Japanese, French, Spain and Tamil).
Tourists will have the option of a 24 or 48 hour pass, available from 38 – 65 Ringgit (AUD$12-210.
