Maldives Ports Limited (MPL) has decided to increase bus card recharge agents to provide better convenience for passengers travelling within Greater Male' Area.
Complaints are made by passengers who are travelling between Male' Hulhumale and Velana International Airport (VIA) using Touch Link bus cards for not having enough agents to top-up or recharge cards. Manager of Greater Male' Transport Link operating under MPL Ibrahim Maumoon stated efforts are underway to increase bus card agents to expand the services. He said more agents will be placed near STELCO and on Majeedhee Magu to facilitate passengers to obtain bus card services.
Currently, a card can be purchased for USD 1.29 from the Greater Male' Bus Terminal, main bus stop in Hulhumale' and MTCC Ferry Terminal in Hulhumale' and Villimale'. An estimated 10,000 - 15,000 passengers obtain Greater Male' Transport services daily using Touch Link bus card.
