KUCHING, Feb 21 — The trial operation and passenger service of the hydrogen buses for both the Downtown Heritage Loop and Damai Loop routes are temporarily suspended until further notice, said Sarawak Metro Sdn Bhd (Sarawak Metro) in a statement today.

Sarawak Metro said the temporary suspension was part of its precautionary safety measures as the bus drivers had close contact with a third-party contractor, who was recently tested positive for Covid-19.
