Renovation work was carried out in around 2017-18 to renovate the existing terminal concourse and implement centralised coach ticketing, and new bus berths were constructed at the centre of the terminal, previously the site of a large bus park. Refurbishment works were completed in 2018.

    The RM1 boarding charge is only for those long-distance buses, and those buses going directly to JB Checkpoint (essentially, just 170). Cuz, the waiting area is in air-conditioned comfort.

    Every bus around 40 passengers, every half hour collect RM40 in total, every hour RM80, every day around 12 hours can collect up to RM960.

    This is probably to maintain the air-conditioning and the cleanliness of the air-conditioned bus waiting area.

    The shops at Larkin Bus Terminal pay rental mainly for this purpose (to maintain the place).

    Nonetheless, the method of payment used to be cash. With effect from 1st December 2023, they have went cashless, and only allow touch n go.

    To those who no RM1 readily available, can go to the non-aircon area, that has no boarding charge, to take the local Causeway Link T13 bus routes to go back to JB Sentral. The only condition is, must have the Manjalink card, or RM3 in cash available.

    Larkin Bus Terminal has many shops, that makes it comparable to JB City Square, even better than JB Komtar, and even better than the shops at JB Sentral. Even if not able to pay the RM1 boarding charge, can always take the local Causeway Link bus back to JB Sentral, or take the more obvious transport option: ride hire.

    You are welcome.
