Melaka’s first electric bus will commence operations this week as part of a trial service for three months. The bus will operate along tourist attractions and take passengers through the historical areas of Bandar Hilir. Currently, the bus service is free for users as the results from the trial will determine suitable routes and appropriate fares. The electric bus is operated by a State Government subsidiary, Panorama Melaka Sdn Bhd, and utilises technology from China. Each bus costs RM1.35 million and can accommodate up to 60 passengers at any time. It is said to be able to travel as far as 300km in one charge.
