MTCC to launch direct bus route between Male’ and Hulhumale’ Phase II

Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC) has decided to launch a direct bus route between Male’ and Hulhumale’ Phase II.

MTCC stated direct buses between Male’ and Hulhumale’ Phase II will begin on March 2. MTCC said the buses will initially be operated hourly depending on traffic, but would increase frequency to 15 minutes by July.

MTCC commenced bus service to Hulhumale’ Phase II in October 2021, after recipients of Hiya flats began moving into the area. MTCC had initially operated buses every 30 minutes between Hulhumale’ Phases I and II, but have since increased the frequency of buses to every 15 minutes due to the rising population of the Hiya neighbourhood.
