00:00Next, on the screen is an important date.

00:04It is the Chinese New Year celebration week.

00:08Next day, PLAS expects to have a lot of traffic on the day of Puncak.

00:16That was two days ago, on Friday and also on Saturday.

00:22We expect to have a lot of traffic on Friday and Saturday.

00:27Also, two days after the Chinese New Year celebration, on Friday and Saturday.

00:32On the 31st of January and 1st of February.

00:35A lot of people will be going back to their hometowns,

00:38on holiday and also to visit their relatives and relatives in Thailand.

00:43We expect that the total traffic will increase to 2.2 million.

00:49That is an increase compared to 1.86 million every static daily.

00:56There are three basic strategies to ensure a safe, smooth and comfortable Chinese New Year.

01:07First, traffic management.

01:10We will activate smart lanes.

01:14As you know, smart lanes are the opening of emergency exits or roadblocks

01:21in strategic locations where the traffic is slow to increase the capacity of the city.

01:30This effort has been carried out for 20 years.

01:34This time, we will activate 25 smart lanes in selected locations.

01:41In addition, we will also place trucks and trains in strategic locations,

01:48such as on land minarets, hills and so on.

01:53To ensure that when an accident occurs, we can act quickly and avoid the involved vehicles.

02:02In addition, based on the traffic pattern of the holiday season,

02:06PLUS also provides the MyPLUS TTA application to facilitate holidaymakers

02:12to plan their journey as well as help manage traffic.

02:17In addition, PLUS has also improved public transportation in more than 50 locations since 2023

02:25and added 50 more cabins to help people enjoy a smoother, safer and more comfortable journey.

02:36Holidaymakers can also enjoy a 10% discount on the purchase transaction without cash worth RM15

02:47at all Rehat and Rawat PLUS branches.

02:50In addition, we will increase our team in all our libraries

02:58and further strengthen coordination with our strategic partners,

03:02namely the Police in Raja Malaysia, the Road Transportation Department,

03:05and also all ERTs, bombers and all emergency teams.
