PASIR PUTEH: All express bus operators must ensure their buses are fixed with the Global Positioning System (GPS) device in an effort to ensure safe driving.East Region Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) chief, Mohd Tamizi Shafiin said although many buses had been fixed with the GPS device since the ruling was imposed in 2013, it was believed that there were still some which did not have it."It is compulsory for them to install the GPS device. If they do not, it will affect the renewal of the bus permits," he told reporters after closing the course on Excellent Work Culture organised by Konsortium E-Mutiara Berhad, here.

All these are to ensure passenger safety," he said.Stay up-to-date by following Daily Express’s Telegram channel.
