MIRI: The Miri Sentral Bus Terminal, located along the Miri Bypass, is set to officially begin operations on January 18 2025, replacing the Pujut Bus Terminal, which will stop operations on January 17, 2025.

The facilities include 12 ticket counters, 12 retail shops, 14 bus platforms, two cafes, a spacious and comfortable waiting area, and user-friendly public restrooms, particularly for people with disabilities.

“This terminal is expected to play an important role in strengthening transportation networks, supporting economic development, and improving community mobility,” he said. – UKASnews
