Tebrau, Johor Bahru (22 April 2024) In response to the escalating traffic congestion along Tebrau Highway leading to Johor Bahru city center, Toppen Shopping Centre and Handal Indah Sdn Bhd have joined forces to introduce the Toppen Park and Ride initiative.

The Park and Ride service aims to address the growing number of vehicles on Tebrau Highway by offering a convenient alternative for commuters. Handal Indah, the Network Operator of myBAS Johor Bahru, has recently launched the myBAS T14 route connecting JB Sentral and Toppen Shopping Center via the Tebrau Highway. This collaboration provides a viable option for individuals commuting to the city center or even those traveling to Singapore, easing their daily transportation burdens.

Mr. Sergey Aristarkhov, General Manager of Toppen, ‘We have over 5,000 parking bays available in Toppen. Commuters who choose myBas T14 can conveniently park their vehicles here without having to be concerned about the safety of their vehicles. Furthermore, Toppen is a one-stop-destination where we can offer those who park here added convenience through our supermarket offer, exciting F&B choices, entertainment, and other key essentials.

Through this park and ride service, we are offering a special season pass for all the commuters where commuters could save up to 83% of their parking expenses compared to park in the city centre. Additionally, as an incentive for early birds, we are excited to offer RM10 e-voucher for Manjalink Cardholders when they apply for Toppen season pass.’

Mr. Riduan Salleh, The Project Manager of myBAS Johor Bahru and Kumpool, says”  “myBAS T14 route operates from 4:50 AM to 9:50 PM, ensuring convenient access for commuters. Additionally, Kumpool support enhances accessibility by connecting residents to the myBAS T14 route from their housing areas for a minimal fee. Passengers can enjoy significant savings, with myBAS T14 fares up to 80% lower than e-hailing services, which are subject to fluctuating prices.”

Meanwhile, myBAS Johor Bahru introduces unlimited free rides for RM50 every 30 days through the LUGO App or Malaysian IC. Subsequently, myBAS Johor Bahru has also launched the myBASKonsesi which allows unlimited ride to the card holder if he or she belongs to the students below 17 years, senior citizens, or persons with disabilities.

The registration of all myBAS50 and myBASKonsesi is available in all ManjaLink counters in Johor Bahru.
