A total of 105,000 out of 192,000 express bus tickets available for the Aidilfitri festive season at the Southern Integrated Terminal (TBS) in Kuala Lumpur have been sold as of today.

TBS senior manager (operations) Faizal Redza Redzuan said tickets for the East Coast were sold out and that response for destinations in the north was also very encouraging.

In conjunction with the festive season from June 12 to 19, he said TBS was providing 16,000 tickets daily with 993 trips throughout the peninsula.

"For this Aidilfitri festive season, the most tickets sold are for June 13. TBS is constantly monitoring and working with bus operators to increase trips if ticket demand is still high," he told Bernama today.

Tickets can be bought round-the-clock at TBS ticket counters and at 12 vending machines available at TBS besides making ticket purchases online.

Aidilfitri falls on June 15 and 16 (Friday and Saturday)
