Its services can be broadly categorized into stage bus and express bus. It currently operates stage buses in the Klang Valley, mainland Penang/ northern Perak, Seremban and its vicinity, and Kuantan. Its express services are predominantly concentrated along the North-South Expressway. The Company was mandated to jointly lead stage bus operations in the Klang Valley in 1994, as part of the Government’s plan to rationalize and modernize the urban transport system. In response to this, the Company introduced a new fleet of buses, equipped with advanced ticketing system, and expanded its area of operations in the Klang Valley partly through the acquisition of other operators and/or their routes. The Company markets its stage bus operations through its internally developed brand name, Cityliner. In 1995, Park May Berhad was also appointed to lead one of the two consortia for express bus operations along the North-South Expressway. Its express service is represented by Plusliner, which caters for the lower income group, NiCE and NiCE 2, which are targeted at the higher end market. Having established a foothold in the Malaysian public bus industry, Park May Berhad is presently undergoing a consolidation phase to strengthen its position in its primary areas of operations.
