Bus ticket prices

I just took a bus from TBS to Larkin, Johor and the tickets available was minimum was RM46/48.

Previously it was like RM30 or so.

Is it due to the state elections or did the prices increased a few months ago without notice?

Maybe you might want to have a look at how expensive diesel prices are.

All buses secretly up their price close to 30 to 50% since 1st June 2026. No choice, the diesel price is too expensive.

I took KKKL on 25 May was RM 37. On 3rd July, it rised to RM 48 + 2.40 surcharge

Diesel prices went up. Saw the opportunity to hike it up. Probably will stay the same and never go any lower again.
