“We see many incidents of trespassing along settlement areas from Tanjung Aru to Beaufort and Beaufort to Tenom,” he said. “We acquired a renovated railbus for the Tanjung Aru and Beaufort route which has a 90-passenger capacity including standing room. Statistics indicate passenger numbers were 585,772 and 505,651 in 2014 and 2015 respectively with Beaufort, Papar, Tanjung Aru and Tenom registering the highest ridership. He said construction of the new headquarters and rebuilding of the main railway station in Tanjung Aru by developer SP Setia Bhd, launched as part of the Aeropod mixed commercial development project in 2012, is currently ongoing. "Four of our diesel multiple unit (DMU) trains running the Beaufort-Halogilat and Halogilat-Tenom routes are at least 35 years old,” Majanga said.
