Malaysian transport regulators halted operations for premium bus operator Aeroline through early December after the company repeatedly violated terminal usage requirements. The Land Public Transport Agency announced the suspension will last from Nov. 6 through Dec. 5, citing persistent unauthorized passenger pickup and drop-off activities at unapproved sites.
Officials issued three formal warning letters to the carrier between March 13 and Oct. 10 for the same infractions. Agency investigators documented buses collecting travelers outside designated terminals without permission on Feb. 3, May 21 and Oct. 10. The company acknowledged violations in written replies but declined to relocate services despite warnings from authorities.
Regulators invoked Section 27 of the Land Public Transport Act for breaching license terms under Clauses 16 and 19, which mandate parking at authorized locations and prohibit boarding passengers in unsafe or prohibited zones. The agency stated the action aims to protect travelers and reduce urban congestion while helping municipal governments maintain orderly transit systems. Aeroline previously faced penalties earlier this year when individual vehicles received suspensions lasting 37 days and 30 days for separate compliance failures. The company must cease all service under its operator license during the month-long prohibition.
