Prasarana records 11% more passengers in 2025 – 1.31 million daily average, New Year’s Eve 1.63 million

Last year, a record average of 1.31 million passengers daily used Prasarana‘s public transport – 11% more than 2024’s 1.18 million, The Star reports. Multiply that by 365 days and the annual ridership is over 478 million. New Year’s Eve was of course the champion day – previously reported at 1.54 million, Prasarana has now revealed the number to be 1.63 million, which is up 10% year-on-year.

Prasarana president and group CEO Amir Hamdan also revealed that 556,618 digital My50 passes were cumulatively purchased between July and December 2025, and as reported by Kosmo, 1,355 buses were in operation nationwide (including Rapid On-Demand), compared to 2024’s 1,165.

More news of late on the national public transport operator here: 350 new diesel buses and 250 new EV buses, converting four diesel buses to EVs, the LRT3 Shah Alam Line’s continued delay and improved rail reliability.

While most dream of the future, Jonathan Tan dreams of the past, although he's never been there. Fantasises much too often about cruising down Treacher Road (Jalan Sultan Ismail) in a Triumph Stag that actually works, and hopes this stint here will snap him back to present reality.

    remove the monopoly of Prasarana and we will achieve Japan level cost and efficiency.

    Let other players improve the public transport in Malaysia instead of feeding the bloated datuks.
