    The Mandai Express from Khatib is back in service. Took it yesterday to and from Night Safari(15 Aug 2020). On Thursdays to Sundays and eve of and on Public Holidays, the service runs until 10pm. https://imgur.com/uFaCbU0
    Payment is by Ezlink or Nets Flashpay only. The same card can be used multiple times. Witnessed a few passengers trying to pay with their bank cards (simplygo) but it couldn’t work with the card reader on the bus.
