For myBAS Johor Bahru
You will have to TAP IN (WHEN BOARDING) and OUT (WHEN ALIGHTING) when you choose to pay your bus fare with Visa card on the selected myBAS Johor Bahru bus routes.
Yes, as long as your Mastercard is contactless enabled and issued by an authorized bank/financial institution regardless the country of issuance.
There are no additional fees or hidden charges for the bus fare; you will only be charged the exact fare. All transactions made with Mastercard will be processed in MYR currency (applicable for departures from Malaysia and Singapore). If you are using a Mastercard issued by an overseas bank (outside Malaysia), a foreign transaction fee may apply. We recommend contacting your respective bank for clarification on this matter.
If you have more than one Mastercard or a ManjaLink card in your wallet, we strongly recommend taking out the specific Mastercard you wish to use and tapping it directly on the reader. This helps avoid card detection errors and ensures your payment goes through smoothly.
In this case, you should always refer to the respective bank that issued your Mastercard.
Insufficient funds on your card may result in being denied boarding the bus. Please ensure there are sufficient funds on your card to avoid such incidents.
