Description
- The MBJB Pas Bulanan is a digital monthly parking pass service provided by the Johor Bahru City Council (Majlis Bandaraya Johor Bahru, MBJB) and fully managed through the unified ParkMax mobile application. This service allows vehicle owners, daily commuters, and business operators to pay for public parking on a monthly basis rather than utilizing daily or hourly rates. It covers all standard public parking bays under MBJB's jurisdiction, providing hassle-free and cost-effective parking access throughout Johor Bahru. Validated vehicles can park freely within any designated public parking spaces marked with white lines, completely eliminating the need for physical coupons or daily manual activation on the location.

Details
- Application Process:
- Applications, management, and renewals must be submitted digitally through the latest ParkMax mobile application by navigating to the "Monthly Pass" (Pas Bulanan) or "Season Parking" section and selecting "MBJB" as the council.
- Applicants need to provide/register:
- A verified user account on the ParkMax app.
- An accurately registered Vehicle Registration Number (Vehicle Plate Number) tied to the user profile.
- A digital copy of the Vehicle Log Book / Grant (if prompted by the system for vehicle classification verification).
- Approved passes are instantly activated and linked to the vehicle profile upon successful digital payment via the integrated payment gateway in ParkMax.
- Fees:
- The monthly pass fee is structured based on duration or specific vehicle categories determined by the council.
- Payments can be flexibly made for durations of 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months directly through the ParkMax wallet or linked payment methods.
- No physical signboards, dashboard stickers, or paper receipts are required, as the entire system relies on digital enforcement recognition.
- Usage Period:
- The digital pass is fully operational during official MBJB parking enforcement hours: 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday to Saturday.
- Parking remains free on Fridays and Public Holidays, during which the digital pass status will not be penalized or required.
- Responsibilities of Holders:
- Ensure that the vehicle plate number registered in the ParkMax system matches the physical vehicle 100% accurately (including correct spacing and characters).
- Monitor and renew the monthly pass via ParkMax before the current expiry date to avoid sudden coverage gaps.
- Park responsibly within designated white-lined public parking spaces without causing traffic obstructions.
Important Rules
- Timely Renewal: Pass renewals must be executed through the app before the current pass expires to prevent enforcement officers from issuing summonses during operational hours.
- Compliance with Parking Bays: The monthly pass is strictly valid for white-lined public parking bays only. It cannot be used to occupy yellow-lined reserved bays (Petak Bermusim), OKU (disabled) bays, or red-lined special vehicle bays.
- Single Vehicle Bound: Each digital pass purchased on ParkMax is locked to one specific vehicle registration number and cannot be transferred, shared, or dynamically toggled between different cars.
- Outstanding Fines Restriction: The ParkMax system automatically screens for outstanding traffic or parking compounds linked to the license plate. Vehicle owners must clear all pending MBJB compounds before the system permits the purchase or renewal of a Pas Bulanan.
Compound & Punishment
- Expired or Non-Active Pass: Failure to maintain an active Pas Bulanan on ParkMax while parking in an MBJB public bay during enforcement hours will result in a standard parking compound ranging from RM30.00 to RM100.00.
- Misuse of Restricted Bays: Utilizing a monthly pass to justify parking in a reserved yellow-lined bay, OKU bay, or creating a public hazard is an offense and may lead to immediate compounding, wheel clamping, or vehicle towing by MBJB enforcement teams.
- Incorrect Vehicle Data Entry: Inputting an incorrect license plate number during the ParkMax transaction invalidates the pass for the actual vehicle. Any subsequent compounds received due to typographical errors will not be waived, refunded, or transferred by MBJB or ParkMax.

Once purchased, your license plate is synced in real-time, eliminating the need for daily app scanning or physical coupons.
No. The Pas Bulanan purchased on ParkMax is strictly valid for standard white-lined public parking spaces only. Yellow-lined bays are reserved seasonal spaces (Petak Bermusim) leased by businesses.

It depends on the package type you purchase within the ParkMax app.
- If you purchase the Standard MBJB Monthly Pass, it is strictly valid only within MBJB boundaries.
- However, ParkMax also offers a Cross-Council / All-Johor Pass option. If you opt for the cross-council package, your digital pass will allow you to park seamlessly across multiple participating municipal councils in Johor (including MBIP and MBPG). Please select your preferred coverage area in the app before finalizing your payment.
The monthly pass will be bound to the incorrect plate number, rendering it completely invalid for your actual car. If you receive an enforcement compound due to a typo error, MBJB and ParkMax will not waive or refund the fine. Always double-check your vehicle profile before checking out.
