When you are in Kuala Terengganu, look out for a public town bus. Its design is so unique. You can not find this kind of bus in Malaysia except in Kuala Terengganu. Its exterior is fitted with wood carving panelling. Dark brown bus with a capacity of 30 passengers at a time is plying between Dataran Shahbandar (the square near the General Post Office) to Chendering, Losong and Gong Badak.
The town bus, unique design in its own way.
This air-conditioned bus by the name of Cas Ligas in a way resembles a tram. But it is on wheels! Actually the word 'cas ligas' is a Terengganu dialect which means efficient. The one way ticket is minimal RM1.00(flat rate) for both Chendering and Losong. For Gong Badak, its one way fare is RM2.00.
The Chendering route (C01) will bring you to Batu Buruk Beach (you have to stop at General Hospital and walk 200 metres), Istana Badariah, Terengganu Equestrian Resort, Floating Mosque and Nor Arfa Craft Complex (NACC). The Losong route (C02) will bring you to the Museum and Taman Tamadun Islam which passes Jalan Sultan Ismail, Hotel Seri Malaysia, Felda Residence, Pulau Kambing, Hiliran, Jalan Bukit Kecil, JPJ Junction, Mydin, Simpang Tok Ku, then Losong. The Gong Badak route (C03) follows the same route of C02 but before reaching Mydin Mall, it turns right to Sultan Mahmud Bridge.
The bus is stationed at Dataran Shahbandar.

If you want to take this bus, go to bus stop which has sign board of Cas Ligas or you can take at its station, Dataran Shahbandar. Happy Travelling.
