KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 20 — The government’s policy to channel bus ticket sales through licensed terminals is meant to restrict online ticketing agents (OTA).

Transport Minister Anthony Loke said operators needed to understand the policy and there will be a session to explain it to them.

“The policy is not intended to cause losses to bus companies.

“What we want to restrict is the role of online ticketing agents (OTAs), many of which are based overseas.
