Land Public Transport Agency or APAD will take over most of the functions of the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) which was recently decommissioned.

Agensi Pengangkutan Awam Darat or APAD is an agency under the Ministry of Transport Malaysia.

It is responsible for planning and defining land-based public transport policies, programs and strategies to enhance the country’s public transportation system.

This includes rail, bus and taxi services, as well as transporting goods through rails and roads.

It aims to strengthen the transformation system driven by technology for national development.

The roles and responsibilities of this agency fall under all matters related to land public transportation all over Peninsular Malaysia.

2. Regulatory power

To ensure that your permit renewal is done hassle-free, APAD has provided several guidelines that you can refer to.

These guidelines are prepared for bus operatios as well as taxi drivers.
