Rapid Bus Sdn Bhd is launching seven more operational zones for the Rapid KL On-Demand service to accommodate passenger demand this Thursday (March 27).
In a statement today, it said the new zones include Kampung Ampang Indah-Taman Sri Watan, Ampang Hilir-Kampung Datuk Keramat, and LRT Ampang-Ampang Jaya, each involving four vans.
Two vans each will be provided for the remaining four zones: MRT Putrajaya Sentral-Precincts 14 and 16, Putrajaya International Convention Centre, MRT Putrajaya Sentral-Cybersouth Dengkil, and Desa Pinggiran Putra-Desa Gemilang Putrajaya.
Rapid Bus said the operational zones that use the Trek Rides application are routes with connectivity to train services and the Jalan Ampang bus lane.
“Previously, only the Jalan Genting Kelang and Jalan Klang Lama bus lanes had access to this service. Now, all bus lane users can enjoy and continue their journey with Rapid KL On-Demand.
“For users in Putrajaya, more route options are now available through the Kummute application which will connect you to your desired destinations, which are generally areas where public services are not available,” it said.
Rapid KL On-Demand will also improve its services in the seven zones launched on March 10 by providing an additional van for each zone to accommodate the increasing demand.
They are the Taman Melati-Gombak Setia, Bukit Antarabangsa-Setiawangsa, Bangi-Uniten, Wangsa Maju-Sri Rampai, Titiwangsa-Chow Kit, Bandar Kinrara-Jalan Puchong, and Taman OUG-Kuchai Lama routes.
Rapid Bus acting CEO Ku Jamil Zakaria said the number of vans serving the routes would be increased following the encouraging response from users.
“This is to ensure that the service is convenient for users and to give more people the opportunity to experience using Rapid KL On-Demand,” he said.
The highest daily ridership recorded since the expansion of the Rapid KL On-Demand service to 17 new zones in February was 4,732 users on March 18.
Rapid Bus said that with the launch of the new zones on March 27, Rapid KL On-Demand would operate with a total of 93 vans covering 33 zones around the Klang Valley.
“The Rapid KL On-Demand service offers guaranteed seats that can be booked through the Mobi, Trek Rides, or Kummute applications (depending on the respective area) from 6am to 11.30pm. The promotional fare of RM1 for each journey has been extended for users,” it said.
Users can make payments using the Touch ‘n Go card, MyRapid Concession Card, OKU Smile Travel Pass, and Unlimited Travel Pass (My50, MyCity & Family Pass). - FMT
