Kuala lumpur: The public need not worry about using public transport for Aidilfitri preparations because the operational and technical readiness of the service has been ensured to be at an optimum level throughout the festive season. Prasarana Malaysia Berhad (Prasarana) president and group chief executive officer, Amir Hamdan, confirmed that all modes of transport under Prasarana's supervision will run smoothly without interruption.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Amir Hamdan stated, "There is no need to worry. All our services operate as usual, buses, vans, Rapid-on-Demand and also rail. Everything is as usual. So the public need not worry in terms of frequency or in terms of our services," during the Prasarana Berbuka Puasa Ceremony. This assurance comes as Prasarana prepares to manage the anticipated surge in passengers using rail and buses for shopping activities ahead of Hari Raya.

Although the number of passengers is expected to decrease by more than 50 percent during Hari Raya, Amir Hamdan emphasized that the readiness of technical and operational staff remains at the highest level. "Our staff are still working as usual. Technicians, bus captains are still working as usual. Only the frequency will change on public holidays," he explained, noting that the operating schedule complies with the Land Public Transport Agency (APAD) licensing regulations.

In addition to maintaining service levels, Prasarana has enhanced its crisis communication system. Improvements include the introduction of visual aids, such as mapping the location of intermediary buses, and the addition of a team of 'Troopers' among staff to assist passengers in the event of any unexpected disruption.
