The Movement Control Order (MCO) had been extended to 18th February
Following the recent spike in the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases and number of death, which pushes our national health systems beyond its capacity. The government had announced that the MCO which had started since 13rd January will be extended to 18th February 2021
The whole country with exception of Sarawak will be affected.
Will Public Transport Services Affected?
Most service providers, namely Rapid Bus (Klang Valley & Penang), Rapid Rail (MRT, LRT & Monorail in Klang Valley) had announced that service will be reduced and adjusted from time to time based on demand.
Service reduction has also been announced by the following service providers:
Express Rail Link

12 regular trip on the Penang Ferry Service on each side had been cancelled during the MCO. Last departure from Swettenham Pier is 9pm while the last departure from Butterworth is 8.30pm.
How long will I have to wait for my bus/train?
As MCO prohibits non-essential travels and cross-district travel, it is likely that the number of passengers will fall throughout this period and operators will be required to adjust their service frequency based on demand.
Apart from this, we support real-time arrival information on KTM (Komuter in Klang Valley & Penang ), Rapidbus (RapidKL & Rapid Penang buses, GoKL Buses, selected PJ City Bus, selected Smart Selangor routes, & Penang CAT routes). Real-time arrival information on KTM is available 60minutes from departure while Rapidbus real-time available once the bus had started its journey from the terminal station.
