KUALA LUMPUR — Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) is gearing up to handle approximately 175,000 passengers throughout the Deepavali travel period, marking a 20 percent increase from the previous year's figures.
The southern integrated transport hub expects the uptick as Malaysians make their way across the country to celebrate the Festival of Lights with family and friends. The surge represents a notable recovery in travel demand during one of the year's major festive seasons.
Operators at TBS have implemented measures to manage the increased passenger volume efficiently during peak travel days. The terminal, which serves as a key interchange point for long-distance buses and other transport services, regularly experiences elevated activity during major holidays and festivals.
The projection reflects broader trends in domestic travel as Malaysians resume intercity journeys during major celebrations. Passengers are advised to plan their trips in advance and arrive at the terminal with adequate time to complete check-in procedures amid the expected congestion.
TBS continues to upgrade its facilities and services to accommodate growing passenger numbers while maintaining operational efficiency during busy periods.
