Approximately 30 YBS buses are now operating across the Myanmar-Korea Friendship (Dala) Bridge, serving nearly 10,000 commuters daily, according to the Yangon Region Public Transport Committee (YRTC).

Currently, 20 buses from YBPC and 10 buses from YUPT are operating from 6 am to 7 pm with the standard fare of K400, YRTC Joint Secretary U Lyan Cin Mang told The Global New Light of Myanmar (GNLM).

“Buses from both terminals in Dala and Yangon begin their departures at 6 am. They run until 7 pm. We are seeing between 8,000 and 10,000 passengers daily,” he stated.

YBPC route passes through the roads: Sule Pagoda-Anawrahta-Lanmadaw-Bogyoke-Phonegyi-Dala Bridge-Bo Min Yaung to the Dala side. The return trip follows the same route. YUPT route passes through the roads: Bohtahtaung Pagoda-Merchant-Strand-Thakin Mya Park-Bogyoke-Dala Bridge-Bo Min Yaung. The return route goes through the same roads.
